WI NTER MEMORIES

Winters in Maple Ridge were once a much colder and longer affair. During the cold months, the Fraser River would freeze over, so much so that people could cross on foot or even by vehicle. According to the informal memoir of Joan Elizabeth Jones, one such crossing that left a lasting image in her mind was the daily crossing of Mr. Edge from his home in Langley to the Haney Post Office to collect his mail. He must have struck quite the figure out on the frozen river, rolling a large log in front of him to ensure that the ice was thick enough to withstand his weight.
