LOTC was established in 1949 by George KK (Tommy) Link to bring about co-operation between the National Parks of Canada and those individuals who, moved by a deep love for the beauties of the mountain areas of western Canada, volunteered their efforts to create a system of trails in the Lake O'Hara area of Yoho National Park. Through the work of volunteers led by Tommy Link and A. Carson Simpson, an extensive network of excellent trails was created for use by hikers, climbers, artists and nature lovers. In 1980 LOTC was registered as a non-profit organization, and our mandate expanded to include providing trails and interpretive information to O’Hara area visitors, supplying trail maps and publishing historical material concerning O’Hara. Today LOTC continues to be dedicated to the improvement and maintenance of the extensive trail system in the Lake O’Hara area and to the preservation of its history and the stories of its early trail builders and users.

The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area 7,000 ha. (17,000-acres), is here both for environment and people – maintaining biodiversity, mitigating wetland losses elsewhere, educating young people, promoting wise use of natural areas, securing habitats for research, providing outdoor experiences for elderly, handicapped, and city-bound users. The CVWMA is an extremely important reservoir of biological diversity. The wetland is noted for 301 bird species, 57 mammal species, 17 species of fish, 6 reptiles species and 6 amphibians species, thousands of invertebrate species, and several hundred species of plants. Because the site is so significant, in 1994 it was designated an internationally significant wetland (Ramsar Site). The Wildlife Centre, open May to October, offers visitors a variety of wildlife activities and discovery programs and guided canoe and walking tours.
