4.9/5 (27440 ratings)

Description:In July 1925, there was a modest discovery of gold on the shores of Red Lake by Brothers from Haileybury. It took some time for the news to spread but thousands rushed by any available means: dogsled, aeroplane, horse-drawn sleigh, primitive snow machines, by foot, and in the spring; on anything that would float.The gold rush of 1926 was the last of its kind in Canada, largely because the technological innovations that were pioneered made mass movement unnecessary. However, this rush can be seen as a significant force in the settlement patterns which have changed Canada from vast, uninhabited forest into the modern industrial nation that exists today. It was the kind of uncomplicated adventure no longer seen in our sophisticated society and it deserves a niche of its own in the records of Canadian history.Plans are in full swing for the first Red Lake District High School reunion in July 1987, for the 35th anniversary of the opening of the high school in 1952. It has caught the imagination of the alumni of this small school, who have spread across Canada. An astonishing 600 are expected in town. They are coming because Red Lake never became a "city in the bush". It was a real community whose culture formed all of us who grew up there.
