Tragedy at Okanagan Granfondo Bike Race in South Okanagan

I’m deeply saddened to hear that a tragic accident occurred during the Okanagan Granfondo, resulting in the loss of life of a participating cyclist and serious injuries to two others.

My deepest sympathies are with the loved ones of the deceased during this incredibly difficult time. We pray that those still in medical care make a full recovery.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Happy Canada Day from the tracks! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Today, we celebrate the beauty, spirit, and history of the country we call home. No. 3716 stands tall and proud as a true piece of Canadian heritage. ❀️🀍

Built in Montreal in 1912, our engine spent many years serving the Kootenays, traveling countless miles through the Crowsnest region of British Columbia and Alberta.

After being retired in 1966, No. 3716 was rescued from being scrapped and sent to Port Coquitlam. Thanks to a successful bid by the Kettle Valley Railway Society, the locomotive was brought to Summerland!!
