Gold bar is notable for being the source of a minor outbreak of Cholera in the summer of 1977. The event was classed by Canadian health services as being potentially extremely dangerous, having an appreciable chance of becoming more widespread. However, quick action and quarantining by local health services averted the crisis; the only casualties were domestic animals. The source of the outbreak is still unknown.
