ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake nursing student receives money

Gustav (Gust) Braaten was one of the Uncha Valley’s most respected pioneers. Born in 1886, he and his family moved from North Dakota to Saskatchewan in 1910, and after homesteading there for a time, decided to try their luck in British Columbia. The family heard there was good farmland in the Lakes District, and in 1923, loaded their belongings aboard a Canadian National Railways train bound for ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake.

Move to Cure ALS walks happen across B.C. in June and although ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake isn’t an official site Ronda Payne is holding another fundraiser for her friend Barb.

If you’d like to buy tickets, they are $5 each, and all the money will be donated to the ALS Society of B.C. - which helps everyone in B.C.
