Note: These photos are over 100 years old and are found in the book "Coldstream Nulli Secundus" by the great B.C. Historian Margaret A. Ormsby.
It is almost impossible to imagine such a time when the once famous and highly sought after "Lot 3888" (Now Kal Beach and Kalavista Subdivision) were once so raw and natural with not a building in sight. This land was formerly part of the Coldstream Ranch and part of it was also a First Nations Reserve. The famous Chief Kalamalka himself would have resided in this area during his lifetime.
I am personally very grateful that I can take my family to Kal Beach and enjoy the same thing that so many humans have enjoyed for centuries. It's also a good reminder to keep Kalamalka Lake pristine as we head into the future!
