Then and Now
Founded in 1892 and incorporated in 1929, the Village has a dynamic history, including a mining boom in its founding days, a Japanese Canadian internment camp in the 1940s, and a residential facility for Doukhobor children in the 1950s.
Following mining and forestry economic ups and downs, the village is now a small, vibrant community with a diverse population.
