Tzoonie Mountain refered to in Canadian Alpine Journal (1940, p. 149-153) in a story about a climb by Tom Fyles and his sons, John and Jim. They "passed... Mt. Drew, the only named mountain in the vicinity... above us now rose the peak we set out to climb. As it was the most shapely peak and about the highest on the divide, we decided to call it Mt. Tzoonie after the river of that name which flows into... Narrows Arm..." Source: BC place name cards & correspondence, and/or research by BC Chief Geographer & Geographical Names Office staff. |
