South Slocan is an unincorporated community in rural British Columbia with a population of approximately 100 people, many of whom are followers of the Doukhobors religion.
In 1888, Thomas Martindale Ward received the government ferry contract across the Kootenay River at Slocan Pool, about 750 metres (820 yd) south.
In 2019, Kalesnikoff Lumber erected a 10,000-square-metre (110,000 sq ft) multi species mass timber manufacturing facility.
Reaching full production the next year, the state-of-the-art processing plant created around 50 new technology-centered jobs.
