Arrow and Slocan
Lakes Community Services
"Serving the Upper Arrow, Upper Slocan & Trout Lake Regions"
Arrow & Slocan Lakes Community Services (ASLCS) was incorporated
as a provincial non-profit society in 1974 and as a federally
Registered Charitable Organization in 1983. The Society was
originally formed to deliver homemaker services to the Nakusp
area. Since then the society has grown and is now a
multi-program agency delivering social programs and services to
an area encompassing Edgewood to Nakusp to Silverton.
The Arrow and
Slocan Lakes lie in the northwest Kootenays, amid the Monashee
and Selkirk ranges and within the Columbia and Slocan River
valleys. About 6,000 people live and work in the area.
ASLCS impacts on a wide range of the local population, from
children to seniors.
