Canada Post has unveiled a new postage stamp celebrate 100 years of Kootenay National Park. The park was established on April 21, 1920 after the announcement to build the Banff-Windemere Highway, which is now known as Highway 93 South. The highway connects the Columbia and Bow River valleys.<\/p>\n

The centenary was celebrate in Radium Hot Springs last week and included members of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc First Nations, village council and Columbia Valley residents.\u00a0“The government of Canad is pleased to celebrate Kootenay National Park’s 100th anniversary in 2020,” said Minister of Environment and Climate Change Jonathon Wilkinson in a press release.<\/p>\n

The stamp is part of a series called From Far and Wide and features an image of the Floe Lake Rockwall. Maybe the peak will finally get the attention from climbers that it deserves.<\/p>\n
