Deep in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia lies Sandon—once known as the ‘Monte Carlo of the North.’ In the late 1890s, this was the silver capital of Canada, a booming city with opera houses, grand hotels, and more wealth than many could imagine.
Today, Sandon is a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. In this video, we explore the remnants of its golden era, from the iconic red trolley buses to the power plant that has been running since 1897. We’ll also uncover the tragic events—the fires and the devastating 1955 flood—that turned this bustling metropolis into a silent mountain retreat.
Join us as we step back in time to discover the grit, the glamour, and the ghosts of Sandon.
