A memorial was held in Revelstoke, B.C. Thursday night to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the country's deadliest avalanche.
Family, community members, and historians gathered to remember the 58 lives lost in the Rogers Pass.
The men killed were all workers with the Canadian Pacific Railway.
They were buried by a wall of snow while clearing away an avalanche on the tracks in the Rogers Pass on March 4, 1910.
More than half of the men were of Japanese origin.
At Thursday's ceremony over 10 thousand paper cranes folded by volunteers were hung to remember the victims.
A second service is planned at the Rogers Pass avalanche site this summer.
