The Walkers departed from England in April of 1913 aboard The Empress of Ire- land. They landed in Montreal and traveled west to Golden, British Columbia on the Canadian Pacific Railway. There they were met by Basil G. Hamilton and traveled by Cadillac with him to Wilmer. The Walker family lived in a house in Wilmer for the summer of 1913. Upon dis- covering that the land they purchased was not suitable for farming, Arthur negotiated a trade with the company and by the fall of 1913 they had settled into their new home. Their farm was the Ben Able Farm located by Able Creek in Invermere. A large pro- portion of the Walker farm was given over to potato production.

  • Columbia Wetlands Waterbird Survey 2015-2017 Progress Report
    Columbia Wetlands Waterbird Survey 2015-2017 Progress Report Written by Rachel Darvill, CWWS Program Biologist Goldeneye Ecological Services PO Box 663, Golden, BC, V0A1H0 December 2017 1 | P a g e Columbia Wetlands Waterbird Survey (2015-2017) – Progress Report ABSTRACT This report presents interim findings on the Columbia Wetlands Waterbird Survey (CWWS) project, a five-year coordinated bird count initiated in 2015. A major goal of the CWWS is to mobilize citizen- scientists in an educational opportunity to collect baseline inventory waterbird data within the Columbia Wetlands ecosystem. The resulting baseline data is working to augment understanding of waterbirds using the Columbia Wetlands habitat during periods of bird migration. Since 2015, the CWWS has collected inventory data at over 100 survey stations on more than 120 bird species, of which 14 species are listed as ‘at-risk.’ Preliminary data suggests that a high abundance of waterbird species occurs at specific sites during migration periods, and that some at-risk waterbird species concentrate at specific sites during migration. The CWWS has initiated the process of identifying threats to bird habitat in the Columbia Wetlands ecosystem. Recommendations to alleviate threats will be forthcoming during the remaining two years (2018-2019) of the project. The CWWS has resulted in a successful deployment of important diverse educational opportunities utilizing outreach methods thereby increasing the ecological literacy of community members in the region as it relates to wetland ecology

  • Veterans of the First World War in the Windermere Valley
    Veterans of the First World War in the Windermere Valley The Canadian Legion and Invermere cenotaph, July 1930, then located on the point between 7th and 6th Ave. (Museum Files, A3) Windermere Valley Museum and Archives Invermere B.C. 250-342-9769 www.windermerevalleymuseum.ca [email protected] Researched and compiled by Alex Weller, 2014 The Windermere Valley Museum and Archives is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Windermere Valley (from Canal Flats to Spillimacheen). It is primarily volunteer run and depends on community support and donations to operate. For continued access to resources such as this one, please consider donating to the museum or becoming a member of the Windermere District Historical Society. Refer to our website for more details. Introduction The outbreak of the First World War on August 4, 1914 changed the lives of people around the world. Although the fighting took place far from the mountains and lakes of the Windermere Valley, the conflict was a changing force in local history. Hundreds of men left to fight overseas, and many of them never returned. One hundred years after the start of this conflict, the 2014 summer display at the Windermere Valley Museum commemorates the men who served, and the people who were left behind. As part of this effort, the names of individuals from the Windermere Valley who participated in the war have been compiled together with information on their connection to the valley and a record of their time overseas. This document summarizes these efforts and makes that research available for public reference, as well as provides a general overview of the war.
