CHASE
Is a small town, located at the west end of Shuswap Lake off of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway #1), east of Kamloops. Chase was developed and built in 1908 when the Adams River Lumber Company, built at one time, the largest sawmill in the interior. The mill was closed in 1925, dealing the community a major shock. Chase is named after Whitfield Chase and incorporated in 1969 as a village. After the incorporation the village began being a hotspot for tourism as well as a retirement community for retirees who want to live the rest of their lives by the lake. Chase has also benefited from the construction of the Coquihalla Highway (Highway #5) about 60 kilometers east of here. Logging, local businesses and recreational activities; like house boating on Shuswap Lake contribute to the local economy.
CHASE’S POPULATION: 2,409
