Sicamous, District municipality in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, Canada
Sicamous sits at the intersection where Mara Lake flows into Shuswap Lake, encompassing over 1,000 kilometers of combined shoreline in British Columbia.
The Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in Sicamous during September 1885, establishing a station that connected the region to the westward expansion from Port Moody.
The Secwepemc First Nations maintained settlements around Shuswap and Mara lakes, leaving evidence of pit-houses dating back more than 3,200 years.
The district operates multiple services including Economic Development, Emergency Planning, and Environmental Control programs for its 2,613 residents as of 2021.
With approximately 250 rental houseboats available, the municipality earned recognition as the primary houseboat destination in Canada during the late 1960s.
