The developing lead and silver mine, for a time one of the richest in the province, influenced the expansion of the mining corporation and the Crows Nest Pass Railway until its demise in 1911. Only the 1907 fire hall beside the highway, St. Peter's Church on Tavistock Street, the mine tailings and crumbling foundations remain as symbols of turn-of-the-century Moyie. Originally known as Grande Quete, the origin of Moyie's name is thought to be the french word mouille, meaning wet. Population: 450 Location: Moyie is located on Highway 3/95 on the eastern shore of Moyie Lake, 19 miles (30 km) south of Cranbrook. Walking Tour: Embark on a Moyie walkabout tour and visit the old mine tailings pile, also visible from the highway.
