1990713h5973Canada: P.C.A.V.F. Fine. 1990. First Edition. Paperback. "Exciting events and dramatic changes have occurred during the first 50 years of logging the Chemainus River valley. The outstanding achievements of the operation were accomplished by the superb efforts of all those who have worked there. The long term plan to continue producing high quality logs at 1990 production levels or higher on a sustained yield basis will undoubtedly require as many changes in the next 50 years as we have seen in the past history of the operation. We trust that someone will pictorially record these changes so that those reviewing the history of copper Canyon in 2040 after a century of production can smile as we do today at the inefficiencies of our early efforts." - page 2. 44 pages.
