Bridge washed out at 30 km on Babine Lake Road, near Smithers

The incident occurred on June 30

A few ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake residents have called into Lakes District ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà to say they have had to repair their vehicle after going to the Lakeview Mall parking lot and or almost had an accident while swerving and nearly hitting another vehicle to avoid the huge pot holes. As these pot holes do not belong to the Village of ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake, Lakes District ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà was unable to get comment from mall owners at press time. Hats off to the village for repairing most of the potholes around town already.

Free event, a first since pandemic began

Hopes to receive copies between late August to early September

It is 1919, and you want to build a steam-powered sawmill. There is a wood-fired tractor available at a decent price, but the iron-wheeled monstrosity weighs more than two and a half tons and is six hundred miles away in Vancouver. You can have the unit shipped by boat and train to Houston, BC, but getting it the rest of the way to your house is problematic, because there aren’t any decent roads south of the Grand Trunk Pacific rail line, and a wide body of water in between.
