Nelson... a place where life is unhurried and people say "hello" to strangers. It's a town where time has seemingly stood still. Turn-of-the-century ambiance lingers in every corner from the 350 preserved heritage buildings to the fully restored streetcar. But, don't let the quiet fool you. Here on the shores of the giant Kootenay Lake, you'll find a world-class recreational playground with all the comforts of today's amenities, and lots of exciting things to do and see for all ages. So come turn back the clock for a great time — in Nelson!
