The Village of Slocan (/sloʊˈkæn/ sloh-KAN), historically also known as Slocan City (/ˈsloʊkæn/ SLOH-kən), from Ktunaxa: sⱡuqan, IPA: [sɬuqan]). is a village in the Slocan Valley of the West Kootenay region of the southeastern Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the southern end of Slocan Lake, to the south of New Denver, which sits mid-way up the lake's eastern shore.
Slocan should not be confused with Slocan Park, which is farther south along the Slocan River, or South Slocan, which, in turn, should not be confused with Shoreacres, at the Slocan River's confluence with the Kootenay River. The term "the Slocan" refers to the Slocan Valley in general.
