In the early 1900s, Latimer surveyed the townsite which later became Summerland鈥檚 core. The first survey post was driven in the land on Henry Street.
Latimer was also responsible for laying out Summerland鈥檚 irrigation system and surveying the Kettle Valley Railway through Summerland to the summit of the Coquihalla.
Latimer Street in Summerland and Latimer Street in Penticton are named in his honour.
