Photograph of Lakelse Hot Springs Lodge built in 1910 by pioneers Bruce Johnstone and Hank Boss, they stand by the Lodge with their wives. They had hopes of the C.N.R. going by where today runs the new highway. The Lodge burned to the ground during the winter of 1936. Hank Boss stands at the far left and Bruce Johnstone in the center. Their wives are by them. The Lodge had ten rooms and a large bath in the lean to. People came to the springs for rest and cure that mother nature could even in those pioneer days on foot and by boat. These people were the real pioneers who prepared the way for us.
