Slocan Waterfront Commons Symposium

A Weekend of Ideas, Inspiration & Community Conversation

Join us for a special weekend dedicated to exploring the future of Slocan’s waterfront and former mill site. The Waterfront Commons Symposium brings together community members, special guests, and design professionals for a series of events focused on learning, sharing, and imagining what’s possible for this important piece of land.

From hands-on activities to thought-provoking talks and design sessions, this is a chance for everyone to get involved and help shape a vision that reflects Slocan’s values, creativity, and future needs.

All events are free and open to the public unless noted.

Let’s dream big — together.
