When the last spike was driven on Nov. 7, 1885 at Craigellachie, B.C. to complete the C.P.R. Trans-Continental Railway, hotels were built along the line to accommodate the passengers. Sicamous became a favorite starting point for fishermen to the Shuswap Lake and junction for the fruit growing Okanagan Valley. The first station in Sicamous, built in 1890, burned down in 1900. A new one was built, modernized in 1908, and torn down in the 1960s." Series No. 215. | |
