Ymir reunion set for summer

Residents, past and present, of Ymir, in south eastern British Columbia, are invited to a town reunion scheduled for Aug. 1-2.

Situated south of Nelson, the town was founded in 1897 and named after Ymir Mountain, in the Nelson Range. In the mid-1880s, geologist George Dawson had named a group of mountains Ymir Range, after the legendary Norse father of the giants, but the name survived in the single mountain only.
