Sicamous Yesterday<br />
Sicamous (meaning narrow or squeezed in the<br />
middle) has a history that is comprised of many<br />
interesting subjects, from Native heritage to<br />
Columbia gold discovery, paddle wheelers to<br />
the construction of the Canadian Pacific<br />
Railway (CPR.)<br />
In the 1800s this area was inhabited by a seminomadic<br />
group of Natives called the Shuswaps.<br />
In this area, however, they were known as the<br />
“Schickamoos” and an 1871 provincial map<br />
shows Schickamoos Narrows, which was<br />
known as a “meeting place of Indians.”<br />
The local band, Splatsin, get their name from<br />
the late elder Cindy Williams who explained<br />
that it is pronounced ‘Splajeen’ and means riverbanks, which is where they lived,<br />
along the banks of the Eagle, Salmon and Shuswap Rivers.<br />
Their traditional territory was huge, extending from Mica Creek in the north to<br />
Kettle Falls, Wash. to the south, and from Monte Lake to the west and Nelson to<br />
the east. Their primary village sites were at Sekmas from Old Town Bay to<br />
Sicamous, and Splatsin (Enderby) where the majority of the population lives<br />
today. There were other major villages at Mara Lake, Mabel Lake and other<br />
locations that provided good fishing opportunities.<br />
By 1864, gold was discovered on the Columbia River, and Seymour Arm soon<br />
became a supply centre in the Big Bend gold rush. The Hudson’s Bay Company<br />
built the first steamer, followed quickly by others. This continued until the<br />
completion of the CPR, at which point they were doomed to extinction. Rail<br />
transport was faster and after the 1920s the steamers were used mostly for<br />
pleasure.<br />
In 1885 permanent settlers started arriving after the driving of the Last Spike of the<br />
CPR at Craigellachie, linking Canada sea to sea. Old Town (or Eagle Pass<br />
Landing) became an instant town in 1871 and was the central supply centre for<br />
railway construction.<br />
In 1949 the bridge was built across the channel—which had previously been just a<br />
ferry crossing—with several hotels opening over the years, including the well<br />
known Sicamous Hotel in the early 1900s. It was, however, demolished in 1964<br />
but there are still many inquiries about the hotel to this day.<br />
Sicamous certainly has an interesting past and, with its many houseboats and<br />
beautiful countryside, it surely has a bright future. With incorporation in 1989,<br />
Sicamous continues to be a vibrant, growing community and enjoys a continued<br />
relationship with the Splatsin First Nation. 7

On the Water<br />
…….Motorized fun<br />
Sitting on the shores of two beautiful lakes—Mara and Shuswap—life happens on<br />
the water in a Sicamous summer. No matter your speed, there’s something for<br />
everyone; kick it up and ride the wake, slow things down and paddle at leisure or just<br />
soak up the sun. A number of public boat launches and docks provide easy access to<br />
the water, as do the many marinas that offer boat slips or storage with valet service.<br />

On the Water<br />
…..Non-motorized fun<br />
This wet and wild playground isn’t limited to boaters, however, with many<br />
businesses in town also renting personal watercraft, kayaks and paddle boards<br />
with plenty of space for all to share the water, no matter what your speed.<br />
If you prefer terra firma, the Beach Park is the place to be with a beautiful sandy<br />
beach, large grass area with picnic tables and a splash park and playground for<br />
kids. Mara Lake Provincial Park is another option just a few minutes south on<br />
Highway 97A, also featuring a great beach and boat launch.<br />
In Sicamous we understand that pets are a part of the family too and, therefore,<br />
cater to our furry friends as well with a dog park that backs onto the Eagle River,<br />
giving them a beach vacation as well.<br />
No matter what your preference, come hit the water and discover that life is<br />
better at the lake.<br />

On the Water<br />
…….Experience the Narrows<br />
In Sicamous, you truly are living on the water. Two unique businesses provide<br />
everything you need without ever having to leave the lake. Both the Shark Shack<br />
and The Seastore are located in the Cinnemousun Narrows where all four arms of<br />
the Shuswap meet.<br />
The Shark Shack is proud to be the ONLY floating, licensed restaurant on<br />
Shuswap Lake. The restaurant is located on the second deck with the ability to let<br />
the sun in or keep the rain out, and provide fantastic, revolving views of the lake<br />
and surrounding scenery. Join them for an truly al fresco meal and be sure to<br />
leave your mark, they encourage guests to sign the walls, tables and even the<br />
ceiling.<br />
The Seastore is the Shuswap’s Original Floating Store where they sell everything<br />
you could possibly need, including premium boat gas, groceries and general<br />
merchandise, bathing suites, clothing and fishing tackle and licenses. It’s your one<br />
stop shop on the lake<br />

On the Mountain<br />
…….Sledding / Snowbiking<br />
Voted 2017 SledTown ShowDown Champion of Western Canada, Sicamous has<br />
four areas for riders of all abilities—Owlhead, Queest, Blue Lake and Eagle<br />
Pass—with both groomed and ungroomed trails to explore, snow-filled bowls to<br />
drop into and breathtaking views to soak up.<br />
If you come unprepared for the call of the mountains, or experience a machine<br />
malfunction, there are different businesses in town that rent them out, carry the<br />
necessary gear and offer repairs and parts services.<br />
Avid sledders can find snow on the mountains starting as early as the fall and<br />
lasting all the way to late spring, making for a good, long season.<br />
While sleds have always hit the hills here, more and more riders are now<br />
choosing snow bikes. Whichever machine you prefer, Sicamous is the place to<br />
sled!<br />

On the Mountain<br />
…..Hang gliding/off roading<br />
Arguably one of the most iconic views of Sicamous is up on Queest Mountain<br />
at the hang gliding ramp, which is popular not only with scenery seekers but<br />
also those daredevil jumpers. Being a forest service road that leads to the<br />
ramp, the rougher terrain is also favoured by off-road enthusiasts who hit the<br />
hill with quads and dirt bikes. Given the terrain, however, anyone using the<br />
road does so at their own risk.<br />
There are, however, other trails for such use as well, including most of the<br />
sledding areas that cover a lot of the backcountry.<br />
With these amazing resources, Sicamous is truly an adventure just waiting to<br />
be had.<br />
14
Pick a Trail<br />
Sitting in a valley, the Sicamous area has an extensive system of 26 trails that offer<br />
breathtaking views and can be explored on foot, bike, ski, snowshoe and,<br />
occasionally, horse. The varied landscape caters to all levels of experience and<br />
physical agility, with differing length treks, allowing hikers to personalize their off<br />
-road adventure and tailor it to their needs.<br />
A full list of trails, maps and directions can be found online at<br />

Golf Sicamous<br />
Golfers can take advantage of the Shuswap sun by hitting the greens at either<br />
of Sicamous’ courses, or they can go a bit further afield and access numerous<br />
others in the area for a different challenge every day.<br />
In town, there is the option of a nice stroll on the nine-hole course with greens<br />
that meander along the Eagle River, or the 18-hole course whose more<br />
mountainous terrain requires a cart and provides spectacular views of Mara<br />
Lake.<br />
Celebrate the highlights—and forget the lows—of a good game at either of<br />
their licensed clubhouses, both of which have patios so you can continue to<br />
soak up the sun well into the evening.<br />

On the Ice<br />
…..Sicamous Eagles<br />
Having produced numerous NHL<br />
players, Sicamous is very much a<br />
hockey town and is, therefore, very<br />
invested in the local team.<br />
The Sicamous Eagles Junior ‘B’<br />
Hockey Club officially formed on May<br />
17, 1994 and is one of 20 teams in the<br />
Kootenay International Junior Hockey<br />
League (KIJHL), one of the largest<br />
and strongest such leagues in B.C.<br />
The team carries a mandate to provide<br />
opportunities for young men to<br />
develop their hockey and life skills<br />
with the goal of having a career in the<br />
hockey arena.<br />
The Eagles have enjoyed a close affiliation with many teams in both the BC<br />
Hockey Association and the Western Hockey League, working closely with<br />
team officials in directing players to the opportunities available to them through<br />
these organizations. Many Eagles alumni have moved up to play on Junior ‘A’<br />
and European teams, while a number of those graduates—including Kris<br />
Beech, Shea Weber, Cody Franson, Deryk Engelland, Adrian Veideman,<br />
Kris Hogg, Andrew Ebbett and Andrew Kozak—have played or are currently<br />
playing in the NHL. The Recreation Centre has a proud display of memorabilia<br />
over the years from our local players.<br />
The Eagles have only missed the playoffs two times in their 22 history,<br />
however, they were provincial champions twice which qualified them to attend<br />
the Western Canada Championships which, for Junior ‘B’ teams, is the<br />
equivalent to the Stanley Cup). The first time, they finished fourth at the<br />
Westerns, and the second time, they won it all.<br />
The Eagles have a 52-game regular season schedule, with home games drawing<br />
an arena full of avid fans and supporters. Those game nights are well<br />
orchestrated, and fans unable to attend can still keep up on the action by tuning<br />
in to the team’s live Internet pay-per-view broadcasts.<br />

RCMP Musical Ride<br />
Tuesday, July 17<br />
Sicamous is welcoming one of the most Canadian of events this summer, the<br />
RCMP Musical Ride.<br />
The RCMP Musical Ride is performed by a full troop of 32 riders and their<br />
horses. Their performance consists of intricate figures and drills choreographed to<br />
music. These movements demand the utmost control, timing and coordination.<br />
The Musical Ride performs in up to 50 communities across Canada between the<br />
months of May and October. They help raise thousands of dollars for local<br />
charities and non-profit organizations.<br />
The Musical Ride provides the opportunity to experience the heritage and<br />
traditions of the RCMP. The riders act as ambassadors of goodwill who promote<br />
the RCMP’s image throughout Canada and all over the world.<br />
A world-famous show, the Musical Ride has played an important role in the<br />
RCMP since 1873. From its inception in 1873, the North-West Mounted Police<br />
(NWMP) relied on skilled riders to carry our police duties across the Prairies.<br />
Patrolling the vast and sparsely inhabited area, NWMP members were frequently<br />
the only government officials new settlers would encounter and were essential to<br />
preventing prairie fires.<br />
To break the monotony of endless riding drills, members of the Force commonly<br />
competed amongst themselves and performed tricks on horseback. In 1876, some<br />
of these tricks and exercises were performed at Fort McLeod, AB. This is believed<br />
to be the first public performance of what would eventually evolve into the<br />
Musical Ride.<br />
Come out and enjoy the tradition when the troop<br />
stops in Sicamous to perform Tuesday, July 17 on<br />
the football field at Eagle River Secondary School.<br />

Help us keep Okanagan—Shuswap waters zebra and quagga mussel free!<br />
If you know someone who boats, fishes and travels in and out of our valley with<br />
their boat or other water recreation equipment, ask what they’re doing to prevent<br />
the spread. Make sure they follow the “Clean. Drain. Dry” protocol and are<br />
stopping at watercraft inspection stations.<br />
Clean. Drain. Dry. Is now part of modern boating and watercraft etiquette in<br />
Canada and the U.S. It has also been adopted as a best practice by B.C. and<br />
several U.S. states to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. It’s what<br />
anyone should do with their water recreation equipment whenever traveling from<br />
one lake, river or stream to another, even if it’s a paddle board or just wading<br />
boots that have gotten wet.<br />
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:<br />
•Clean off all plants, animals and mud from your watercraft and related<br />
equipment (e.g. boots, waders, fishing gear). If a power washing station is<br />
available, use it.<br />
•Drain (on dry land) any item that can hold water (e.g. buckets, wells, bilge and<br />
ballast).<br />
•Dry all items completely before launching the watercraft into another body of<br />
water.<br />
Zebra and quagga mussels put several of the assets we treasure most as residents<br />
of the Okanagan—Shuswap at risk, including:<br />
•Water quality<br />
•Beaches<br />
•Fish<br />
•Lake ecology<br />
•Property values<br />
•Tourism<br />
•Our economy 27
