WCRA News, Page 4 EDITORIAL A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL Going to keep it simple this month—West Coast Railway Association has achieved several significant milestones in the past month, more than we ever may have wished to take on in such a period. Think about it, in June 2010 we: • Held a successful four days of Day Out With Thomas, hosting around 10,500 happy guests with hard work by all of our staff and more than 100 volunteers • Completed the centre driving axle rebuild on Royal Hudson 2860 in Vancouver and steamed the locomotive successfully back to Squamish • Moved the first piece of our collection, the 1890 CPR Business car 16 British Columbia, across the turntable and into the new CN Roundhouse and Conference Centre • Held the grand opening of the CN Roundhouse & Conference Centre event on June 30 That would be more than enough for any organization to take on in this kind of time period, yet all of these were accomplished. All I can say to you - our staff, our volunteers, our members and our supporters - is thank you for all you do. Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE JUNE GENERAL MEETING Chair Bill Johnston called meeting to order at 19:30k - 35 members and guests were present.

MEMBER NEWS We are sad to report on the passing of WCRA member Don Behrner on June 22, 2010. Don lived in Squamish and was also a founding member of the Squamish Historical Society. He was keenly interested in the history of the Squamish community and contributed to it in many ways. Our sympathies are extended to his wife Retta and the family. (S.S.) WCRA News, Page 6 HST NOW ADDED TO MEMBERSHIP FEES Please note that as of July 1, 2010 all membership fees will have the new 12% HST added. Please note that the good news is that there will be no increase in membership rates for any WCRA membership categories. The value of membership got even better July 1, when admission fees to the West Coast Railway Heritage Park rose as the new CN Roundhouse exhibit hall opened. Your membership will continue to get you full access to the Heritage Park at no increase in rate. For total prices with the HST added see bottom of Page 3. STAFF CHANGES AS WE MOVE INTO FALL A couple of significant staff changes are occurring at WCRA as two of our senior staff people are departing the Lower Mainland for other parts of the Province. Susan Steen will be moving on, back to the Okanagan where she has accepted a new role as Executive Director of a Hospice Society. Susan has been of great assistance to WCRA in her role as Vice President—Squamish, and has very ably built our team of both staff and volunteers there. She has shouldered a heavy load very capably and we will all miss her. She leaves us at the end of July 2010. Work is currently underway on a replacement for the leadership of the Heritage Park, and there will be some responsibility realignment as well. More to come next month as plans and changes are put in place. Jim Brown will be moving to Vancouver Island to be closer to family this fall. He has given notice that he will conclude his role as Manager - WCRA Operations (office and finance) at the end of August, 2010. We wish Jim well and thank him for him years of dedicated service to WCRA both as a volunteer and in his more recent staff roles. WCRA is seeking candidates now for a new Manager—Finance and Administration to replace Jim in his staff position by fall.

  • Myra Canyon Trestle Reconstruction

    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.
