Enderby British Columbia - The Armstrong Enderby branch of the Okanagan Historical Society will hold its annual general meeting 19 Apr 2015 at 14:00 in the Enderby Seniors' Complex.
 
Phil McIntyre-Paul, from the Shuswap Trail Alliance, will speak on the possibilities of using the now closed railway right-of-way between Armstrong and Sicamous as a public trail corridor.
 
Enderby Coun. Brad Case will give a brief update on the process, while Bob Cowan, local historian and OHS branch editor, will provide a brief history of the importance of the rail line.
 
Resident Tillman Nahm will speak on why the right-of-way should not be made into a trail.
 
Local branch president Don Moor will moderate the proceedings.
 
The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives has loaned its 20-foot-long survey map of the rail line from Sicamous to Okanagan Landing.
 
"This very interesting 19th century artifact identifies the private parcels and their ownership at the time of railway construction," states the branch.
 
There will also be a pictorial display from the Enderby and District Museum.
 
Prior to the speakers, there will be a brief meeting to bring members up to date on the local activities of the society and elect officers for the coming year.
 
The meeting will be recessed for the speakers, and then resume for the consideration of supporting the idea as presented.
 
Only OHS members will be allowed to vote (you may become a member by purchasing the 78th report of the society).
 
Should the motion pass, it will be taken to the AGM of the Okanagan Historical Society in Osoyoos 26 Apr 2015 for consideration.
 
Coffee, conversation, and cookies will follow the meeting.
