  • Sumas lake wasn't a man made lake, it was an existing lake that was man-drained in the 1920's!

    Look up Sumas Lake in Wikipedia.

    That's what the Vedder canal is for, and the Barrowtown pumping station, to keep the reclaimed land dry.

  • you're absolutely right! I had no idea that I said that in the video, which I took in about 1992. And I even knew that at the time, I have no idea how I cold have goofed on that one. I have studied old maps and seen the shape of the old lake, I knew it was there and it was drained. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll probably remove this video and re-do it without the original narration. mL

  • I was there a year ago and it looks like some rich people have turned it into a nice lavish home.....

  • Do you have footage of the mid-way sub-station? It is at 256 Street near 68 Avenue. There is even what looks like one of the little inter-urban stations.
