The Malahat Road on Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada, was built near the turn of the century. It was epic. Apologies for the mispronunciations of place names.

When we found a motion picture of this road, taken in 1912 shortly after it opened, we had to share it. Enjoy this documentary about early motoring in Canada.
