F.H. Latimer and Pioneer Engineers - Oliver, British Columbia - Citizen Memorials on Waymarking.com

At the southern end of Downtown Oliver several streets converge leaving a small triangle of land. In 1999 a small park was begun in that triangle by a group of civic minded volunteers and completed in 2000 as a Millennium Project.

Triangular Park has a rose garden and several benches allowing one to sit and relax. In the park is a this round pink plaque recognizing the contributions of the pioneer engineers, particularly F.H. Latimer, for their work in the construction of the irrigation system between Osoyoos and Penticton.
