Is Kokanee part of the Kootenay region where former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's son Michael was killed while skiing and an avalanche washed him and his companions into the lake?.

Frank...
If digging deeper is necessary for whatever you're tracking, try the below contact info for Neil Kalawsky owner of the Pontiac/Buick dealership in Cranbrooke..
As a GM dealer accountant since 64/65 previous to becoming a dealer himself he may recall something useful or know who's still around that can help?.

Supposedly made from the water of the Kokanee glacier!
I did business in the late 80's, early 90's in that area with some of the car dealers, but those ones were long gone.

Yes, Trudeau's son was killed in an avalanche out here in western Canada, but I don't recall in what region. And thanks for the tip Pete. I have learned thus far that Burgee Moters also partially owned Pioneer Pontiac/Buick in Cranbrook.I will follow up on the lead and hopefully it plays out. Frank
