The serene town of Kaslo is a sanctuary for the weary and stressed, referred to by many people as "Canada's best kept secret". This mellow village is also home to many events, including the famous Kaslo Jazz Festival , May Days Celebrations, and local artisans' Saturday Markets to name only a few events. Kaslo is also home to "rich" history, being a gold and silver mining centre for the area in the Gold Rush days. Kaslo was originally founded by G.O. Buchanan, with brothers George and David Kane in 1893.
Many successful entrepreneurs are proud to call this remote village on the shores of Kootenay Lake home. A very diverse population, with some business owners coming from Alberta and even as far as the U.K and Germany. We welcome new businesses and encourage economic growth in the area.

One of the first things a person notices in Kaslo, especially along the main "Front Street", is the iconic Victorian architecture. Many of the Front Street stores date back to the 1900's, and endeavor to preserve their unique design cues, even though the stores have changed hands many times since they were built.
Kaslo is also home to the world's oldest intact, and historically archived sternwheeler. The S.S. Moyie, which originally launched October 22, 1898. It is currently going through renovations, but is still very open to the public. For more information about the S.S Moyie, please visit the Kootenay Lake Historical Society
web site.
