Stories passed down from elders tell how First Nations from afar would paddle their canoes to bathe in the hot springs on the territory of the Sts'ailes First Nation.“Our people have been using it for tens of thousands of years," he said of the springs he called Qwólts, meaning boiling medicine water.
There's still a public mineral pool, where water from the springs is diverted. But adult users are charged $16. Village Mayor Fred Talen said they had nothing to do with the destruction, and instead he understands someone from the nearby Harrison Hot Springs Resort had someone fill in the pools. He said there were a lot of “overlapping interests," as the resort had a water license for the hot spring and owns a permit to have the building next to the free pools.
The loss of the Hobo Hot Springs has prompted more than 2,000 people to sign a petition that calls for the pools to be restored.
