Other Information

This Site is likely named for the nearby community of Boyer, Boyer River, or the Boyer First Nation (164). Charles Boyer was a Northwest Company trader in the late 18th century described as being ‘very fit for the Peace Country’ [1] .

The Boyer River meanders to the north of the site but does not flow through it. A former channel is in the northernmost portion of the PNT.
