Between August 1975 and December 2012, 266 species of birds, including nonpasserines and passerines, were recorded in the Nakusp, New Denver, and Burton regions of southeastern British Columbia.

  • 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.
