Industry - Mining: Lime
Texada Island Heritage Society
.................................................................................
Records show that the first Lime Kiln on
Texada Island went into operation in 1887 at Blubber Bay. With the
constant demand for Lime other kilns were also built in Lime Kiln
Bay and Marble Bay. Limestone was cooked in the kilns then barreled
and shipped to customers in Canada and USA.
Barrel factories were also established
in these communities.
