Fauquier is a community in Kootenay Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Fauquier is located at 49.8708°N, 118.0708°W.

Fauquier rests with a quiet permanence upon the eastern shore of Lower Arrow Lake, where the earth rises to meet the rugged silhouette of the Glen Paige Ridge. It lies 45.4 km south-south-west of Nakusp, BC (from Nakusp, BC: bearing 206°T), and is situated 11.3 km north-north-east of Edgewood. The Whatshan River spills its cool, clear weight toward the lake, carving a path through the valley that defines the local horizon. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the water, turning the expanse into a sheet of hammered silver that holds the reflection of the surrounding slopes. Residents find themselves living in constant proximity to the water, as Arrow Lakes Park occupies the immediate shoreline, providing a threshold between the dense timber and the deep, glacial-fed currents. While New Denver Glacier remains a distant, frozen sentinel some 42 km away, its presence is felt in the crisp, sharp quality of the air that carries down from the high peaks. Life in Fauquier has long been shaped by the transition of the seasons and the demands of the Kootenay Land District. Historically, the forest provided the primary sustenance for those who settled here, and the economy remains anchored to the land through small-scale agriculture and the stewardship of the surrounding timber. The pace of the day follows the movement of the sun across the ridges, a deliberate sequence that prioritizes the stillness of the valley over the haste found elsewhere. Every morning, the mist clings to the trees before lifting to reveal the steep, green walls of the valley, and the people of Fauquier go about their work with the steady, practiced motions of those who have learned to read the weather in the clouds. There is a particular clarity to the silence here, a weight that settles in when the wind dies down and the only sound is the rhythmic lap of the lake against the stones of the shore.
