New Denver is a historic village located in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada, situated on the shores of Slocan Lake. Originally established during the silver mining boom of the 1890s, the village has transformed from a mining town into a quiet community that preserves important cultural heritage.

The village gained historical significance during World War II when it served as the site of an internment camp for Japanese Canadians. Today, this history is commemorated at the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre, a National Historic Site that provides insight into this challenging period of Canadian history.

The village is surrounded by the Selkirk Mountains, offering a scenic backdrop that attracts visitors interested in both cultural history and natural beauty. The community maintains its connection to both its mining heritage and its role in Japanese-Canadian history while serving as a gateway to outdoor recreational activities in the Slocan Valley.
