Emerald Lake 1945 Lunch Menu

Canadian Pacific built a lodge at Emerald Lake in 1902 and it still exists, although the current lodge appears to have expanded considerably from what is pictured on this menu cover. Of course, the lodge was closed in 1945 due to the war, but the menu could give people a glimpse of what they might enjoy after the war’s end. Behind the lodge in the photo is Mount Burgess, site of the famous Burgess Shale fossil beds.

Both menus today are dated 1945, during which the lodge was closed due to the war. The first is a dinner menu used on the Dominion. On the left side is a table d’hôte dinner featuring chicken, lamb, crab, or mushroom omelet, for $1.25 (about US$14 today). On the right side, a flyer advertising a Pacific sea food dinner for $1.00 is glued over the beverage menu.

The second menu, which is also from 1945, has table d’hôte and a la carte both on the left and a beverage menu on the right. The fine print says this was used in a cafe car, but it is worth noting that the fish entrées on the table d’hôte menu are all $1.00 while the chicken, turkey, and other entrées are $1.25. In other words, the prices are pretty much identical to those on the dining car menu, which doesn’t give people much of an incentive to use the cafe car.
