Moyie is a paddle steamer sternwheeler that operated on Kootenay Lake in British Columbia from 1898 until 1957.
After her nearly sixty years of service, she was sold to the town of Kaslo and restored. She is a National Historic Site of Canada and the world's oldest intact passenger sternwheeler.
A replica of Moyie currently runs in Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary. She does seasonal runs in the Glenmore Reservoir.
