In the years 1980-81, the town of Garibaldi, located 3 kms south of the Daisy Lake dam consisted of 2 lodges (Alpine Lodge owned by Doug and Diane McDonald and Garibaldi Lodge owned by Ian Barnett of Pinecrest), 80 lot owners, a school building, General store and fire hall. During those two years two events occurred which would figuratively and physically destroy the little village. The first was a geological report on the stability of the rock barrier holding back Greater and Lesser Garibaldi Lakes. This report for the Government of the day impacted negatively on the town and created a liability for the government. Accordingly, an Order in Council was passed expropriating the owners ’ rights and property. The second was the Dec 26th 1980 flooding of the Cheakamus river canyon which physically destroyed about half the properties along its banks. The result of long and intense negotiations with the Government, led by Nelson Bastien and 10 seriously committed supporters, was the establishment of a new site, five kms north, that would become Black Tusk Village as we know it today. There are many more details of what has occurred during the past years and there are still many of the original owners who make BTV their home or recreation spot.
