The Myra Canyon Trestle Society is dissolving and will be closing its Website effective November 1, 2022. The Society would like to thank the users of the Website for their interest in the Society, and also for donations that were made to support the work of the Society over the years.

In 2007 the Society and the University of British Columbia Okanagan co-sponsored an historical archaeological dig at the site.
