‘Daughter of the Peaks’ touring boat, Lake Minnewanka, Banff, Alberta, early 1900s postcard. unidentified photographer
Below the water lies structural remains of the village ‘Minnewanka Landing’. To create better hydro-electric power in the early 1940s, the War Measures Act enabled the construction of a dam at Lake Minnewanka. It raised the lake water level by 30 meters and submerged the village.
