Welcome to Silverton! Located on the eastern shore

Welcome to Silverton! Located on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake, this is a place where natural beauty and community spirit intertwine.

With a population of about 200 people, it’s one of B.C.’s smallest municipalities. It features stunning lakefront views, fresh mountain air and a rich sense of history .

Aside from its quaint and historical charm, it’s the people who make Silverton truly special. In this video we met up with the fine folks at the @silvertongeneralstore, @caravancompanygoods and @silvertonbuildingsupplies to find out why they love to work and live in this special community.

The Support Slocan Valley campaign, including this video, is made possible with support from the @columbiabasintrust, @communityfutures_centralkoot & the Slocan Valley Economic Development Partnership

Welcome to Winlaw, the funkiest little town in the

Welcome to Winlaw, the funkiest little town in the heart of the Slocan Valley, British Columbia!

Located midway between the Village of Slocan and the Highway 3 junction, Winlove as it’s often called, is an unincorporated town filled with a kaleidoscope of people, styles and lifestyles.

Winlaw is a place like no other—a community shaped by its connection to nature, its creative out-of-the-box thinkers, and their commitment to living in harmony with each other and the land.

Winlaw is truly and delightfully unconventional. In this video we met up with the incredible people at @emeryherbals, @sitascafe, @sleepisforsissiescafe, @emporio_supply_company, @pharatreelearningcentre and @gaiatree.wholefoods to find out why they choose to work and live here.

Business owners in the Slocan Valley are a resilie

Business owners in the Slocan Valley are a resilient bunch. This summer, five massive wildfires swept through the Slocan Valley, forcing evacuations in the villages of Slocan and Silverton and surrounding areas, halting tourism, and closing Highway 6—the lifeline through the region. 🔥

Impacts were felt by both residents and businesses alike. From businesses grappling with closures to locals banding together to feed fire crews and helping evacuees, the Valley witnessed both profound challenges and inspiring resilience.

❤️ In the midst of the crisis, the community stepped up—opening homes, helping neighbors move animals and belongings and rallying behind local businesses.

As we move forward, help us support the Valley’s recovery by shopping local, dining local and supporting local. And let’s celebrate the resilience of this beautiful region and its amazing inhabitants. #SupportSlocanValley
