Co-operation and deter-mination set the tone for a recent meeting in Bella Coola with BC Tourism and Small Business Minister Naomi Yamamoto.
Following more than five months of frustrating effort calling on the BC government to reverse its decision to can-cel BC Ferries Route 40, which has provided direct summer ferry service between Bella Coola and Port Hardy since 1996, Ms. Yamamoto’s visit was the first by a government min-ister to the area most drastical-ly affected by last November’s cancellation. Her visit to Bella Coola, at the invitation of Bella Coola Valley Tourism, followed a similar visit to Williams Lake three weeks before.
A delegation of 10 local individuals representing vari-ous sectors of the community met the Minister in a lively discussion during which all acknowledged that the deci-
sion to replace the direct sail-ings with an indirect, more complicated schedule is firmly in place for the 2014 tour-ist season. The delegation strongly criticized the decision to replace the 115-car Queen of Chilliwack with the 16-car Nimpkish, a decision made without an adequate socio-economic study of its effects.
The delegation comprised of John Morton, who facili-tated the meeting, Doug Baker (Bella Coola Valley Tourism), Darla Blake (Central Coast Regional District), Ernest Hall (BCVT), Randy Hart (Nuxalk Development Corporation), Fraser Koroluk, (accommo-dator/tour operator) Chris Nelson (Nuxalk Nation and Aboriginal Tourism liaison), Kathy Nylen (former accom-modator and BC Ferries Advisory Committee represen-tative), Markus Schieck (travel agent and BC Ferries agent), and Beat Steiner (accommo-dator/tour operator).
Under persistent question-
ing from the group regarding the lack of an impact study prior to the decision, Ms. Yamamoto recognized the value of conducting such a study if it pointed toward future directions and the development of an economic plan for the Central Coast region. She said her ministry would work with the Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) in helping to identify resources available for con-ducting such a study and for developing an economic plan for the region. She indicated she is unaware of an overall plan for the Central Coast. She said much of the concern expressed about the lack of an economic plan should be directed to the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, and she offered to assist in efforts to raise these concerns with that Ministry headed by Prince George MLA Shirley Bond.
Ms. Yamamoto, accom-panied by Peter Harrison of
Destination BC (formerly BC Tourism), said her department is forming a “working group” at the Director level of her ministry involving represen-tation from the ministries of Tourism and Transportation as well as BC Ferries, Destination BC, and from the tourism industry. This group is to look at ways the damages caused by the Route 40 cancellation can be mitigated. She said she has had difficulty identifying a BC Ferries representative because BC Ferries wants “a change of tone” in order to engage in the process. (BC Ferries and the government have come under heavy criticism from ferry-dependent communi-ties all along the coast for the decision to slash services and increase fares.)
Meanwhile, at the direction of the Transportation Ministry, Destination BC has provided $100,000 to assist in market-ing efforts to promote tourism in the region in view of the confusion and cancellations
of tourist bookings caused by the cuts. These funds are to be administered through Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA), one of six regional bodies in the province. Peter Harrison, Partnership Marketing Director for Destination BC, told the group that this region “is top of mind” in his depart-ment.
Members of the delega-tion questioned whether such funds devoted to marketing would be of any real value following the many cancella-tions of 2014 tourist bookings in the region stretching from Northern Vancouver Island to the Cariboo. The delegation was adamant in its position that mitigation of damages and compensation for busi-ness losses are not the solu-tion to the problem.
As one delegate put it: “We don’t want handouts: We want to be part of the solution”.

Ms. Yamamoto wel-comed the group’s offer to work cooperatively with her ministry in order to develop strate-gies to benefit regional tourism and small business. She sug-gested the possibility of involving private enter-prise and First Nations in developing the tourism industry with suitable transportation mechanisms to get tourists into the region. She also recommended efforts to extend the tourist season beyond the 13 weeks served by Route 40 sailings in the past. In concluding the meeting, delegates assured the Minister of their interest in cooper-ating, one noting, “we are not going away”.
In further dis-
cussions following the meeting, Ms. Yamamoto indicated that funding in addi-tion to that offered for additional tourism marketing might be available for particular mitigation efforts. For example BC Ferries could be prevailed upon to install lighted shelters at the ferry terminals in Bella Bella and Bella Coola.
After the meeting, Ms. Yamamoto and her party car-pooled with local delegates to the wharf and were able to board the MV Nimpkish now in the early stages of being refitted to make the vessel more comfort-able for tourists book-ing travel for the 2014 season. For instance, softer seating is being
installed, and vending machines will pro-vide complimentary beverages and light refreshments for the nine-hour trip to or from Bella Bella. Ms. Yamamoto expressed some concern that the vessel’s upstairs washrooms and lounge are not accessible for wheelchairs and others with difficulty climbing stairs.
On her first visit to the region, Ms. Yamamoto’s party then drove to Anahim Lake for a meeting with Chilcotin tourism industry representa-tives and returned the following day to Bella Coola. She was particularly impressed by the Hill and hopes to return on a fishing vacation this summer.
Constable Edward Wells is the new-est member of the Bella Coola RCMP Detachment. With a previous posting in Prince Rupert, Cst. Wells is happy with the move to Bella Coola, saying “It doesn’t rain as much here.”
Wells spent four years working in Prince Rupert, divid-ing his time between Prince Rupert City and Prince Rupert Coastal. While work-ing for Prince Rupert Coastal, Wells spent his time in isolated First Nations reserves, working shifts of eight days in and six days at home.
In his new role, Wells is in charge of the Aboriginal Police Section. “We make sure that the lines of communication between the Nuxalk Nation and the RCMP remain open,” Wells explained. “And we want to maintain the trust that has been developed.”
While in Prince Rupert, Wells worked regularly with pro-lific offenders and youth interven-tion. “Working with youth is really about becoming part of the community,” he said. “Sometimes it’s find-ing the appropriate resources for youth,
and sometimes it’s just being there to listen.”
Wells also partici-pated in many youth versus RCMP basket-ball games in First Nations communi-ties, and the outcome wasn’t in his favour. “They beat us every time,” he said.
Constable Wells is enjoying his new home with his wife and family. If you see him around, don’t hesitate to say hello.

Just over a year ago Ashley Brown and Nelson Siwallace lost their first-born son, Kyson Bryan Levi Siwallace. Born with a rare disorder, Kyson passed away at 27 months. Driven by the desire to help other families facing similar struggles, Ashley and Nelson organized a fundraiser in their son’s memory. Thanks to donations from local businesses and community members, it raised over $4000.
“The hospital was really touched by this, and we very much appreciated this
gesture,” said Suezie Koury, Director of Care. “It’s really amaz-ing how this family, and community, has raised such a substan-tial amount of money for other kids with special needs.”
The fundraiser brought to the fore-front the challenges of caring for special needs children, espe-cially when living in a remote location.
Families often have to travel repeatedly for medical and the strain can be enor-mous. More local resources can be a huge relief for those struggling with the day-to-day require-ments of special
needs children.The hospital pur-
chased several items with the money, with the most substantial item just being deliv-ered last month: a brand new ‘Stryker’ crib.
Built with multiple special features, the crib allows caregiv-ers easier access to babies when they are in care.
With a price tag of over $10,000, the donations were a huge help in the pur-chase.
“This crib is a huge improvement over the last one,” said Koury.
“It allows caregiv-ers multiple ways to access the baby if they
are sleeping without much disturbance. It’s an amazing piece of technology.”
The hospital also purchased two special vein illuminators, a much-needed item when it comes to treating infants and small children. “This device shines a light on the vein itself, helping to make it easier for technicians to see, and results in less poking and prod-ding,” said Koury. “It’s really helpful to both patients and techni-cians.”
Kyson is being honoured with a photo in his memory, which will be hung in the hospital corridor.
Dear Editor,
The many memo-ries of Ken Corbould and how the Corbould family changed my life are unbelievable.
In 1986, 28 years ago, Ken took me way,
way back into the Rainbows.
Twenty-two years later my thoughts of those eight to ten day sojourns where there were no trails, only wonders and beauty, will never be
forgotten, especially as a flat lander grow-ing up in Illinois and Oklahoma. If you were going into the mountains you would want Ken Corbould as your guide.
Ken taught me
enough to be able to go five times by myself.
Our camps and campfires were always special after a long days hike. Ken was a good cook.
To top it off, Ken
built me a beautiful cabin in Stuie.
Plus all those floats down the Atnarko and Bella Coola Rivers.
In Stuart, Florida, where I live, Ken spent many winters helping me build a
barn at my ranch, plus repairing a hurricane damaged house.
I’ll never forget, on a September evening years ago, with only the two of us sitting around the campfire back in the Rainbow’s,
Ken said, “I guess now you and I are friends.” Needless to say, Kenny was a real friend.
Sincerely,Don WhiteStuart, FL

After months of bottle drives, cookie dough sales, and bake sales, the Grade 11s and some of the Grade 12s departed Saturday, April 12th for a weeklong trip to Vancouver and Victoria. On the agenda for the first day was a visit to Science World in the morning and a tour of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in the afternoon.
At BCIT students were given a guided tour of the campus by two students and saw both the trades and business pro-gram facilities. Day Two saw the students practice their skills on Skytrain and pub-lic transit. Melissa Brooks and Elijah Mecham bravely used Skytrain to find Douglas College and after a few hic-cups due to rush hour everyone else managed to arrive at the University of BC (UBC). Again, the students received an
excellent tour by two 4th year students who showed them things such as the UBC gym, dorms, and many of the programs UBC offers.
After walking around the expansive UBC campus, the afternoon was some-what slower paced as the students visited the UBC Museum of Anthropology. There the group met up with local Clyde Tallio, who is doing much of his research on Nuxalk Culture. Clyde helped tour the stu-dents around show-ing them the many Nuxalk artifacts in the museum’s collection.
Wednesday saw everyone up early to make the trip from downtown Vancouver to the ferry terminal for the ride over to Victoria. After checking in at the hotel, lunch was an adventure with everyone trying Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Dish). Everyone then walked over to the BC Legislature for a tour. Later many of the students checked out
the Bay Center Mall in search of grad dresses and shoes!
Thursday was the last full day in Victoria and students this time visited the University of Victoria where they were given an extensive tour of the UVIC Longhouse and the Elder-in-Residence Program and while there ran into two very excited profes-sors. The first, a very entertaining British woman, entertained the students by show-ing off the world’s largest microscope (floor to ceiling!). The second, ironically, the group learned was the nephew to Bella Coola local, Gideon Schuetze (small world!) After the UVIC tour everyone raced off to Camosun College in the after-noon where the high-light of the tour wwas seeing the Pacific Institute for Sport.
Before heading back to Vancouver for the night, students took in the Royal BC Museum prior to boarding the ferry.
Mr. Baillie was very proud that of the three vehicles he got off the ferry and to the hotel the quick-est (but then he was relying on his GPS!). Ethiopian food was on the agenda for dinner and appeared to be a hit especially with Jordan Hall who helped polish off
three plates of it!The trip was fun
but by the time Saturday rolled around everyone was ready for the long trek home and look-ing forward to a few days of rest over the remaining days of the Easter long week-end. The students who took part in the
trip were: Carrigan Tallio, Melissa Brooks, Kasey Karran, Ashley Moore, Kelly Harrison, Dylan Tuck, Elijah Mecham, David Brooks, Jordan Hall, and Jacob Gascoyne.
The trip would not have been possible without the hard work of many people: Mr. Thoms for organizing
all the fundraisers, booking the activi-ties of the trip and for driving, Mr. Baillie and Crystal Tallio also for driving and help-ing chaperone the trip. Thank you also to the many commu-nity members who donated to the fund-raisers that made this trip possible!

Marine planning is happening in the Central Coast, and there is an oppor-tunity for you to discuss any ques-tions and specific feedback you might have on the draft Central Coast Marine Plan. The Marine Planning Partnership (MaPP) will be hold-ing a public review period (anticipated to start in mid May), which will include public open houses in Bella Coola and Shearwater. Information on the open houses will be advertised in the Coast Mountain News, and will also be made available through the MaPP website, once dates are established.
The Central Coast Regional District is directly involved in this planning pro-
cess with MaPP and would like to invite and encourage con-stituents from the Central Coast to attend one of these open houses. A sum-mary of the plan, once released, can be found at http://map-pocean.org/central-coast/draft-plan-for-input/.
MaPP is a col-laborative multi-year planning process between the BC Provincial Government and 18 First Nations that have traditional ter-ritories along the northern coast of BC. The Province and First Nations have been working together for over two years to develop localized coastal and marine plans for Haida Gwaii, North Coast, Central Coast and North Vancouver Island. A Letter of Intent between the
partners was signed in November 2011, with planning meet-ings continuing through June 2014. Each of the four subregional plans will be accompanied by implementation agreements that provide specific guidance for day-to-day operations and marine use decisions in the plan area. Implementation and management meet-ings are anticipated to begin in July 2014.
The Province and First Nations have been conduct-ing resource plan-ning for the land in coastal British Columbia for many years through the Land and Resource Management Planning (LRMP) process. Extending this collabora-tive relationship to marine and coastal areas improves con-sistency in resource management for the entire region. MaPP focuses specifi-cally on the marine environment which is under provincial jurisdiction: near-shore, foreshore, and waters that are “between the jaws of the land” (fjords and bays). The activi-ties in these areas which are under provincial jurisdic-tion include: coastal and marine tenures for specific activities (docks, clean energy and underwater cables), provincial seafood development programs (seafood marketing, process-ing and distribution), protected Areas
(including providing recommendations for a Canada – B.C. Marine Protected Area Network), com-munity, social and economic programs related to marine and ocean interests, and pollution pre-vention.
Coastal and marine plans con-sider how marine habitats and environ-ments as well as cul-tural and economic considerations fit together. MaPP is using an Eco-Based Management (EBM) approach to plan-ning, which has precedence around the globe in marine planning, including such high-profile areas as the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia, and the ocean sur-rounding Cape Cod, an important fishing region in the north-east United States. The principles of EBM are very simi-lar to the way the First Nations of the Central Coast have been practicing resource manage-ment and enhance-ment for thousands of years. This approach is intended to create plans that enhance the health of all aspects of the marine environment, as well as the health and economic well-being of the people that rely on the marine environment for their survival and/or economic prosperity.
Development of the Central Coast marine plan has been informed by
traditional and local knowledge, as well as globally-recognized best practice sci-ence-based decision-support tools such as MARXAN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxan). For the Central Coast, planning has relied heavily on input from local First Nations technical planners, marine use planning committees, and the marine use plans of the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’Xais, Wuikinuxv, and Nuxalk Nations. Marine planning coordinators for each Nation are: Wilf Dawson (Nuxalk Nation); Julie Carpenter (Heiltsuk Nation): Daniell Shaw (Wuikinuxv Nation); Doug Neasloss (Kitasoo Xai’Xais Nation).
The Central Coast Marine Plan Advisory Committee (MPAC) also provides impor-tant information and feedback for the development of the plan. The MPAC is comprised of members from a wide range of sec-tors: Academic, Commercial Fisheries, Recreational Fishing Services, Commercial Tourism, Conservation, Finfish Aquaculture, Forestry, Local Government, Public Recreation, Renewable Energy, and Shellfish Aquaculture. Local MPAC representa-tives include: Diana Chan (Conservation); Gary Wilson (Finfish Aquaculture); Hans Granander
(Forestry); Brian Lande (Local Government); Alison Sayers (Local Government); Janice Kyle (Public Recreation). These stakeholders have provided details on areas of importance to their groups. Their input was considered by the MaPP partners during development of the draft spatial plan (zone mapping) and aspatial manage-ment direction (writ-ten plan). All draft spatial zones and aspatial management direction were pre-sented to the MPAC for additional feed-back. More infor-mation about the committee structure and process of MaPP can be found on the MaPP website: www.mappocean.org.
The maps within the spatial plan include “polygons” (pictures) of three different types of zones. General Management Zones (GMZs) allocate space for a wide range of sustainable marine uses and activities.
The GMZ designa-tion recognizes that many areas have no over‐arching priorities for use or activity, and that a large number of activities do not have spatial or temporal conflicts. Special Management Zones (SMZs) are established to provide manage-ment emphasis for specific uses and activ-ities, to prevent or mit-igate current or future conflicts between user groups, or when there is a desire to
allocate space for high priority / high potential sustain-able marine uses and activities. Protection Management Zones (PMZs) allocate space primarily for conser-vation purposes. PMZ areas may contribute to a larger network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) or serve as a basis forprotecting localizedareas of high conservationvalue.
During the pub-lic review period for the plan, the CCRD intends to gather feedback from con-stituents, and then submit feedback, sug-gestions, and advice to the planners. If you would like to give feedback through the CCRD representatives for MaPP, please con-tact Brian Lande (250-982-2403, [email protected]) or Alison Sayers (250-982-0074, [email protected]). The CCRD hopes that the final plan enhances the health and wellbeing of the entire Central Coast community and the marine environment, supports First Nations traditional and cultur-al uses, and enhances the economic devel-opment of our region. For further informa-tion: www.mapp-ocean.org.
This website pro-vides an overview of the process, lists the stakeholders and planners involved, and describes the organizational struc-ture of MaPP.
Feedback on the draft plan can be sub-mitted through this website. On www.sea-sketch.org, navigate to the bottom of this page where the MaPP Marine Planning Portal is shown and click on the link to launch the web map.

The Annual General Meeting of the Hagensborg Water Board was held Thursday, April 24th. The Trustees outlined projected Issues on the water Boards horizon and wants to engage in community discus-sions regarding pota-
ble water and water delivery priorities. The Water Board is preparing for several community meetings this coming year to discuss: aging and degrading water mainline pipe, dam and intake and work with Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and water treatment sys-tem.
The Waterworks
District has been engaged in discus-sions with DFO regarding a possible joint infrastruc-ture project with improvements to the water intake. Turbidity sensing monitors have been installed and DFO is monitoring the read-ings and reporting any water turbidity events to the District
There are some
very big issues being discussed provin-cially as no funding has been allotted for the implementa-tion of water treat-ment systems. New information is being considered by the province regard-ing potable water risk and possible exemptions as most small water systems struggle with main-tenance and replace-ment of aging infra-structure just like the Hagensborg water system.
In 2013 the initial draft maintenance cost for the pilot project water treat-ment system was $6,983.93, which the Trustees believe may prove to be unaffordable. The pilot project will be completed this com-ing year and the pro-jected maintenance costs will be better understood. The Hagensborg Water Board has developed a well to improve water quality during
high water turbidity events and reduce maintenance costs. The well is to be used during turbid-ity events by shutting down the intake at the Dam until the turbidity event has passed where we will be back on Snootli Creek water.
Over the past five years the Hagensborg Water District Trustees have engaged the water users’ partici-pation in choosing a water treatment path as specified under the Water Act and Regulations. The Water Board Trustees promised that no monies collected would be spent until: all approvals are in place; water treat-ment would be from saved dollars not borrowed dollars, (expected to take from six to eight years for implemen-tation of treatment system which was approved by Dr.
Mardicay of VHA, which we are in year five); monies saved for replace-ment purchase of a fire truck; results from a water treat-ment pilot project to understand mainte-nance costs, and the Water Board would present results to the community for final treatment approval when maintenance and replacement costs were under-stood.
The Hagensborg Water Board has $586,487.50 saved in term deposits with the Credit Union at this time. Summary of Saved Funds for Hagensborg Waterworks District: Chequing: $4,657.23, Savings: $87,880.95, Term Deposits: $228,487.50 and $357,000.00, Equity Shares: $1,000.00. The total exclud-ing chequing is: $674,367.73
There have been no increases in water toll’s or taxes for
the fourth consecu-tive year; however next year the Water Board anticipates an inflationary cost increase. Direction from the Hagensborg Water Users at the AGM June 2, 2009 was to remain focused on imple-mentation of a treat-ment system and not replacement of aging infrastructure. This has resulted in increasing main-tenance costs and repairs to an aging infrastructure.
The above infor-mation will set the context for com-munity discussions this coming year where further com-munity meetings will be undertaken to provide direction to the Hagensborg Water Board regard-ing implementation of a treatment sys-tem, water mainline replacement and our response to the province regarding Hagensborg being a low risk.
The Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) Board of Directors is proud to release its first ever Annual Report.
2013 has been a year of transitions at the Central Coast Regional District! The Central Coast Regional District 2013 Annual Report outlines activities in 2013, and our finan-

The RCMP con-firmed the shocking details that show the number of miss-ing and murdered aboriginal women over the past three decades is much higher than what was originally thought.
In a statement, the RCMP said there are 1,186 police recorded incidents of aboriginal homi-cides and unresolved missing women investigations. That figure includes 1,017 murdered aborigi-nal women between the years of 1980 and 2012, as well as 169 missing women dating back to 1952.
These numbers are included in a national RCMP report on miss-ing and murdered aboriginal women, which is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
“The RCMP has taken on this initia-tive on behalf of the Canadian law enforcement com-munity because we are concerned about the high incidence of missing and mur-dered aboriginal women,” the state-ment read. “We remain committed to resolve outstanding cases, and seeking closure and justice
for families.”The force also
said that solutions to the “societal con-cern” of violence against aboriginal women must come not only from the law enforcement com-munity, but all levels of government.
NDP status of women critic Niki Ashton said the newly confirmed number is “shock-ing.”
“If you put it into context, it means that over the last 30 years, 40 aboriginal women and girls didn't — every year — did not come home to see their families,” she said to Rosemary Barton on CBC News Network's Power & Politics.
On the same pro-gram, Liberal health critic Hedy Fry added that it isn't about how many women there are at all.
“The fact is, at that rate, if there were other kinds of women, other than aboriginal women, missing or murdered in this country, there would be an outcry. There would be an inquiry, there would be something,” Fry said.
The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network first broke the story that there may be more than 1,000 cases of
missing or mur-dered women on Wednesday, which immediately renewed calls to the government for a national public inquiry.
The govern-ment, for its part, has refused, refer-ring instead to other initiatives carried out over past years. “There are some 40 studies dealing with that issue. The RCMP is conducting a further study on its own,” said Prime Minister Stephen
Harper. “Our govern-ment from the very outset has said, as one of its priorities — one of its most important priori-ties — tackling crime including violence against women and girls.”
The parliamen-tary secretary to the public safety minis-ter, Roxanne James, echoed Harper's response on Power & Politics.
“Let me be clear, now is not the time for another study,” she said, adding that
now is “the time to take real action” and move forward with concrete measures to end violence.
James said the government has taken over 30 mea-sures since coming into office, citing two separate $25-mil-lion initiatives from the 2010 and 2014 budgets, one of them being a DNA-based missing persons index.
According to the RCMP state-ment, the newly confirmed data
was compiled with the assistance of Statistics Canada from close to 300 individual police jurisdictions in Canada and shows an over-representa-tion of missing and murdered aboriginal women in police databases.
It also included the point that while aboriginal women make up four per cent of Canada's population, they rep-resent 16 per cent of all murdered females between 1980 and
2012, as well as 12 per cent of all missing females on record.
“This research has done more than just provide numbers. It has identified key vulnerability factors for the victims as well as information on the perpetrators,” the statement read.
In 2010, the Native Women’s Association of Canada esti-mated that there were 582 missing or murdered aboriginal women across the country.

A joint effort by numerous agencies resulted in an early Christmas for many victims of last fall’s tremendous flood. At the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in Williams Lake, Leanna Illinicki and Loreen Russell organized a project that substituted their usual staff gift exchange in favour of buying gifts for flood-affected families.
In addition to the Ministry of Transportation’s generos-ity, other BCGEU employees from various provincial minis-tries including the Corrections Branch, Client Services Branch,Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests and Range, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Integrated Land Management Bureau took part in the project, as did their union.Interior Roads, Dawson Construction, Triton Environmental and Binnie
Associates donated $4,000 to the Flood Relief Bank account to be used for firewood, furnace fuel and hay.Many people purchased specific items that families had indicated their children would appreciate including bikes, hel-mets, skates, board games and clothing.
Leanna loaded two pick-up trucks with the gifts and deliv-ered them to Bella Coola where volunteers used the Mormon Church Hall to organize and distribute them. Employees
at the Williams Lake hospital also sent gifts to the valley via Beeline Courier.Earlier that week Michel Bazille (CEO of the Bella Coola Hospital), and some of the hos-pital staff delivered gift blankets that had been donated to flood affected households, which had been donated by Vancouver Coastal Health employees in Vancouver.
The Bella Coola Flood Restoration Committee was also able to organize two vol-unteer work crews that assisted
local householders in from mid October through November and December. The first group to arrive was a six-person crew from the Mennonite Disaster Service. Hosed at the Community Church in Hagensborg these men helped fourteen householders with cleanup and reconstruction during the nine days that they were in the valley.In mid-November volun-
