Nelson, with a population of nearly 10,000, is located in the Selkirk Mountains, on the extreme western arm of the Kootenay Lake, in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. In 1867, gold and silver were found in the area and the city grew rapidly. Storybook charm permeates Nelson, which boasts over 350 preserved heritage buildings and a fully restored and operational street car. The city has also been ranked several times as the number one small arts community in Canada, by the publisher of The 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America, and is home to a large and diverse artisan community. Summer brings ideal conditions for golfing, hiking, climbing, mountain biking and especially water sports, since nearby Kootenay Lake is the largest inland lake in BC. In winter, the area's diverse terrain makes for great skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.
