Odd Canadian Names & Places

Clo-oose, BC

From Wikipedia: Clo-oose (tluu7uus in the Nuu-chah-nulth language) is a village of the Ditidaht people in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is located just southwest of the west end of Nitinat Lake[1] in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, about 65 kilometres (40 mi) south of Port Alberni. Its population is approximately 50[2] and consists of members of the Ditidaht First Nation. The village is located entirely on Claoose Indian Reserve No. 4 but the name refers to the locality beyond the reserve also, which has in the past had non-native residents.

The name Clo-oose comes from the Nitinaht word 'tlu7uus which means "camping place."

Osoyoos, BC:

From Wikipedia: The origin of the name Osoyoos was the word suius meaning "narrowing of the waters" in the local Okanagan language (Syilx'tsn). The "O-" prefix is not indigenous in origin and was attached by settler-promoters wanting to harmonize the name with other O-names in the Okanagan Country (Oliver, Omak, Oroville, Okanogan). There is one local newspaper, the Osoyoos Times.

Interesting. Hard to imagine living in either Liver, Mak, Roville or Kanogan.

Blewett, British Columbia has to be one of my favourites. Perhaps a fellow named Dix's home town. LOL

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spuzzum
Spuzzum is an unincorporated settlement in British Columbia, Canada. Because it is on the Trans-Canada Highway, approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of the community of Hope, it is often referred to as being "beyond Hope". Spuzzum was immortalized in the early 1980s by the band "Six Cylinder" in a song with the refrain "If you haven't been to Spuzzum, you ain't been anywhere."[1]

The question always asked in Love,"If your mom and dad got a divorce, would they still be brother and sister?"
