In 1942, houses from Statham were cut into pieces and shipped via rail cars and then reassembled in Mesachie Lake with most houses there today having at least part of the original houses still being used. The mill was completely new in design, with more efficient modern equipment. The powerhouse was completed and the generators installed. The powerhouse was able to produce enough power not only for the mill and the community, but on occasion supplied the village of Lake Cowichan when it’s own plant was overloaded or broken down. In 1982, Camp Imadene bought the old Hillcrest site and moved their camp in a decade later. Mesachie Lake is still a vibrant community, although the school and church have been moved to Lake Cowichan. The Mesachie Skydome is home to many ball tournaments. The community hall hosts various events throughout the year. The town has it’s own post office and public boat launch. The original Hillcrest Lumber Co. office is now a private residence, along with all of the houses once owned by workers at the mill. EXTERNAL LINKS |
