Kaloya Park

Egbert and Annie Trask were married in Nova Scotia in 1886 and moved to Yakima, WA. where they operated a sheep ranch until moving to Wenatchee a few years later to try fruit farming. In 1908, they moved to the Okanagan establishing an orchard in Oyama on the banks of Kalamalka Lake, purchasing the land from the late Samuel Young. They called their home Iris Point, but today it is the site of Kaloya Park. A commemorative plaque at the park pays tribute to Annie Trask as the charter president of Kalamalka Women’s Institute in 1914.
