Mt Lehman, BC

Brian Kingman, September 2012

As time marches on, some of the pioneer landmark names seem to disappear from our written history. For some reason, in early British Columbia, naming of treacherous hills seemed to be in vogue. For example, the old King George Highway through Surrey had two notorious hills. One known as the Woodward hill rising from the Mud Bay region to past Highway 10 and the Petersen Hill which started at Whalley’s Garage and ended at the Pattullo Bridge. The old Hope-Princeton Highway had the infamous “Whip-Saw Hill” the bane of many early travelers. The Fraser Canyon with its’ famous “Jack-Ass Mountain hill.

UPDATE: November 30th, 2015
RE: Mt. Lehman Cemetery Expansion Project 
FROM: Scott Watson, Abbotsford City 

We will be delaying the construction of Mt. Lehman Cemetery until 2016, looking to get started early in the New Year. This delay is as a result of getting the Request For Proposal out late, reviewing the proposals, having all of the proposals exceed the allotted budget and then with the Christmas Season coming up quickly not wanting to have the cemetery in a disarray shape during the holiday season. As we were optimistic that the expansion would be completed by the end of November 2015, it is just not possible.
 
Your continued support in this project is appreciated. If you..

Albert’s grandfather moved his family to what is now North Bradner/Mount Lehman in 1907, coming from Red Deer in the newly minted Province of Alberta that, until 1905 was part of the North West Territories.
