Surrounded by friends and family Bev Nicholson celebrated her 90th birthday last week. Bev spent 22 years in Valemount. and left in 1985. Three years ago she brought back the ashes of her husband Jack (a former mayor of Valemount) and her eldest son. She enjoys coming back up to visit. Bev said Valemount has changed throughout the years. “When we first got here there was no big mill, there were 12 little mills down the canoe, where the lake is now,” she said. “It was really quite busy and active when we left in 85. It went down bad after that now it’s come back up again.”
