British Columbia - Thoughts With You

[Rruuff Day]

In the Sumas valley of Abbotsford, not only did ’They’ pick the FLAT spot but ’They’ made it first by draining SUMAS Lake . Apparently draining the Lake despite warnings by the Natives that lived there.
Drain the Lake, build a dike, add a pumping station, sell the land.
This was all done in the Thirties looking for new farmland.
Since the Lake was gone the Native people that lived around there no longer had a primary food source and had to be relocated.. but that’s another story.
sad

You are correct Graham... very sad. But once a proposal is presented that increases tax base, deaf ears prevail.....
