Winlaw
[3] In February 1903, a brakeman sustained fatal injuries after falling under the wheels of a slowing passenger car.[28] Enhancements over the years[27] developed into a 13,716-metre (45,000 ft) daily capacity mill, employing about 40 workers, plus 50 loggers.Prior to modern road transport, raw logs arrived via river and finished lumber left via rail.[45] In 1916, the Doukhobors established a brick factory immediately to the north,[46] which was soon abandoned because the clay proved unsuitable.Called Kirpichnoye (brickworks in Russian) or Claybrick officially, the rural community had become part of Winlaw by the 1960s.[56] Ventures by other individuals included Robert's Restaurant south of Winlaw, a meeting place for the alternative community that served natural foods.[58] In 1982, the Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance was founded, which sponsored the FLOW (For Love of Water) conference in 1984.[60] Services include a grocery store/gas bar/post office, a bakery/cafe, herbal apothecary, an organic food market, three licensed restaurants, and a golf course.Paradise Valley Lodge[61] and Karibu Park Cottages & Campground offer visitor accommodation.
