Kaslo-Slocan

Kaslo-Slocan

Kaslo-Slocan was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia centred on the town of Kaslo on Kootenay Lake as well as the mining towns of the "Silvery Slocan". The riding first appeared in the 1924 election as the result of a merger of the former ridings of Kaslo and Slocan, and lasted until the 1963 election.

For other ridings in the Kootenay region, please see Kootenay (electoral districts).

The area was redistributed after the 1963 election. For the 1966 election, the Slocan area became part of Revelstoke-Slocan, while the Kaslo area became part of Nelson-Creston. The original riding name of Kootenay was re-established in this redistribution, but the new electoral district by that name was limited to the East Kootenay.
