The Treasure Of The Valley
Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre
One of the nine West Kootenay internment centres for Japanese Canadians during World War II, following their removal from the BC Coast, by 1942, the camp held 1,505 Japanese Canadians, who built 275 shacks in a fruit grove known as the “Orchard.”
New Denver’s Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre is dedicated to the history of the 27,000 interned Japanese Canadians, and is a National Historic Site. Also, don’t forget to visit the instagrammable Kohan Reflection Garden, a Japanese style garden next to the Slocan Lake.
Sandon Historical Society Museum
Sandon is in the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The near ghost town lies off BC Highway 31A, and is at the confluence of Sandon Creek into Carpenter Creek. By road, the place is about 14 kilometres east of New Denver and 43 kilometres west of Kaslo.
