  • Myra Canyon Trestle Reconstruction
    Myra Canyon Trestle Reconstruction Abstract In late August 2003, forest fires raged through the hills south of Kelowna, BC. Crews battled the firestorm for two weeks but the fires ultimately destroyed 12 wooden trestles and damaged 2 steel bridges in the Myra Canyon region of the former Kettle Valley Railway. Only months earlier, this section of the Trans-Canada Trail had been designated a National Historic site. Funding to rebuild the structures was secured at both the provincial and federal levels and the rebuilding process began. The Myra Canyon trestles are situated in the Myra-Bellevue Protected Area, a Provincial Park established in 2001 and managed by the Environmental Stewardship Division of British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment. The Kettle Valley Railway, constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, ceased to provide commercial service for the region over 30 years ago but continues to provide economic value as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Okanagan. Recreation corridors are numerous in the region and the Myra Canyon alone attracts over 50,000 visitors each year injecting upwards of $5 million into the local economy annually. While access was limited during construction activities, the trestle reconstruction program continued to draw significant public attention. Authenticity is a major objective and the trestles are being rebuilt to closely match the appearance of the original structures. The original trestle structures were constructed 90 years ago using local materials framed and partially assembled at Carmi approximately 40 miles east of Myra Canyon. Since then, only two of the 18 trestles have been rebuilt using steel.

  • 1 Hiistory of Khutze Inlet and Western Copper Property
    HIistory of Khutze Inlet and Western Copper Property Written by J. Milton Meldrum circa 1995, transcribed and appended by Robert Meldrum in 2006, edited by Barry Price, 2009, and Dirk Mendel, 2015. Khutze Inlet is approximately 104 kilometers South of Kitimat on B.C. inside passage. The Inlet is nine kilometers long extending off Princess Royal Channel between Klemyu and Butedale. In June 1793 Captain Vancouver anchored in Khutze Inlet and found the fishing to be very good. Carter Bay, south of Swanson Bay is named after the sailor who died on Captain Vancouver’s ship after eating clams contaminated from Red Tide. My Father Charles William Meldrum was born in 1862 on a farm in Quebec, three miles from the town of St. Calixte de Kilkenny, Montcalm County, forty miles north of Montreal. He never attended school in his entire life. Sir Wilfred Laurier lived in the next town, St. Lin, and he knew Sir Wilfred and his brother Charlemagne Laurier. Charles died in 1932 in Vancouver. In April of 1898 my father married a neighbour's daughter and decided to take the C.P.R. to Western Canada and go to the gold strike in the Yukon and forget about farming the stony ground of Kilkenny. They stopped in Ashcroft, lived in a tent. Dad signed up with a troupe, with horses, to walk from Ashcroft to Dawson City. The journey started but soon horse trouble, pack trouble, and trail problems forced a returned to Ashcroft. During this time my mother had written to her younger brother to also come to Ashcroft as the CPR had job openings.
