The Douglas Trail was constructed in the fall of 1858. This was the first public works project on the mainland. It was initiated by Governor Douglas to ensure food and freight could be transported to the goldfields inland.
Topics include: Birding in Pemberton, Hunting &
Wildlife in Pemberton, Fishing and Local Waters in Pemberton, Early
Schools in Pemberton and Logging in the Old Days in
Pemberton.
Many thanks to our presenters and participants in the program this
summer.
Presenters were: Ruth Hellevang, Shirley and George Henry,
Judy Bourhis, Orayne Carrie, Bob Gilmore, Hugh Naylor and Alan
McEwan.
The information presented was rich and enlightened many of the
attendees.
The museum hopes to produce another Tea & Tales movie with the
material collected this summer. Sadly our application for a
BC Gaming grant for programming was denied along with applications
across the province in sports, arts and heritage. Until
funding can be secured we will be unable to produce an edited
version but we hope you enjoy the excerpts we have provided
online.
