    November-22-11 5:43 PM Lakeboats of the Okanagan by R. Bruce Goett MS 19 Lakeboats of the Okanagan. Page 1 November-22-11 5:44 PM (i) ABSTRACT In this discussion, the boats which provided commercial passenger and freight service on Okanagan Lake from 1882 to 1973 are examined chronologically, and in depth. Though the vessels themselves are of great interest for their own sake, some emphasis has been placed on the role they played in the social and economic development of the area in which they served.

  • Kaleden Hotel
    Kaleden Hotel Statement of Significance 1. Description The Hotel Kaleden was built in 1910 as one of the cornerstone buildings of the Town of Kaleden, designed as one of the leading buildings in the interior of British Columbia. The Hotel Kaleden was one of the first buildings to feature electric light, running water, private sleeping porches, and exclusive dining rooms. Opened in 1911, the Hotel operated until the beginning of World War 1 when the economic bases of British Columbia communities collapsed. The building sat empty until the early 1940’s when it was sold and dismantled. The shell of the building has since sat idle and was sold to the Regional District Okanagan‐Similkameen by Fred King in 1982. 2. Heritage Value Robert Hobson, Hobson and Associates, completed an Okanagan Similkameen Heritage Resource Inventory, in March 1988. The Kaleden Hotel was defined as a Class ‘B’ site: containing features worthy of conservation, with a total score of 80. Sites were evaluated using architectural (40 points), cultural (40 points) and contextual criteria (20 points). Points were removed for desecration. All sites were then assessed for historic, economic, institutional, and architectural representativeness. The Hotel Kaleden stages of development were classed under first fruit farming (1902 ‐ 1918), with transportation and commerce as the best represented economic activities. The Kaleden Hotel Regional Park has been maintained by volunteers and it is the desire of the community to see the shell maintained into the landscape of the park. The structure was dedicated with a plaque honoring pioneer families. Documentation Standards 1. Identification The structure is entirely of concrete construction, the concrete having a fairly rough, “board‐marked” finish, both internally and externally.

Submitted by: I EBA ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LTD. Kelowna, B.C. October, 1994 0808-88654 em EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I Twin Lakes Golf Resort is proposing a residential ,development on slopes overlooking the golf course, The proposal calls for approximately 256 single family residential units. Historically, development proposals in the Twin Lakes basin have raised objections primarily because of the concerns that water resources in the basin will be depleted. Recognizing the need to have water resource concerns addressed, Twin Lakes Golf Resort retained the services of EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd (EBA) of Kelowna, B.C. to undertake a hydrogeological study of the Twin Lakes basin. The purpose of the study being to determine whether water of adequate quantity and quality is available in the Twin Lakes basin to support the proposed development without causing unacceptable impacts. After a review of available information it became clear that detailed water basin and hydrogeological studies had not been completed for previous developments and should be done to properly assess the feasibility and potential impacts of the current development proposal. Further, it was clear that sufficient information on water chemistry in the Twin Lakes area was not available to meet the objectives of the study. Therefore, EBA embarked on a study aimed at investigating the water balance of the Twin Lakes basin, the hydrogeology in the vicinity of the golf course, and the water chemistry of ground and surface water in the study area.

  • Historic Steamwheeler Wharves & Landings
    Historic Steamwheeler Wharves & Landings: Points about Westside Road The trail between Fintry and Nahun was the last remnant of the Hudson Bay Trail. It was used to travel between the two communities after the Shorts Point Post Office was closed.A rough and narrow wagon road was used to join Westbank to Nahun around 1908. Eight years later, the road to Ewing’s Landing was completed using horse teams, which made Vernon accessible without crossing the lake by ferry. During the depression, scores of able- bodied men from the relief camp in Wilson Landing worked to improve the narrow and generally unsafe portion of Westside Road from their camp to where you will now find Traders Cove. Traders Cove There was a sternwheeler landing at Bear Creek, just south of where Traders Cove lies today. It was origi- nally called Bear River in 1883 by David Douglas (of Douglas Fir fame) and was changed to Lambly Creek in 1922. Despite the name changes, it is referred to as Bear Creek today. When the SS Sicamous discon- tinued its services in 1935, mail and freight was delivered by truck from Vernon. There are references to Traders Trail Estates and Newby’s Cove near the current log dump at Bear Creek. Wilson Landing So named for Boer War veteran Harold Fitz-Harding Wilson who settled in the area in 1900. In the 1930s it was home to a relief camp sponsored by the Anglican Church. It housed scores of burly men who improved the hazardous portions of Westside Road between here and Newby’s Cove.
