It’s a well-established living area, with. bunkhouses, family trailers, a cook shack and dining trailer, recreational fields, and air _ strip, maintenance shops, log sorting area and weigh scales. Earlier in October the board of School District 88 passed a resolution to establish a school there after receiving a request from parents of 18 children liv- ing in the camp. The students had previously commuted to Stewart, a situation involving lengthy bus rides in both direc- tions and occasional overnight stays there when the weather turned foul during winter. Orenda set up the camp in 1986 and applied to the Ministry of Forests for a Special Use Per- mit. Although the camp is now home to over 100 people, the permit still hasn't been issued because the Ministry of Forests discovered that it’s built on a EMR A RE img Et eerie IM he ie tetas iy art pa net Ps tee are, “acta: “Terrace Review — Wednesday, November 1, 1989 15. far greater problem’ Ministry of Highways “pave” reserve, Highways won’t relin-. — quish the reserve unless *.a replacement reserve is found. There is a suitable supply. of gravel across Highway 37 from Elsworth, but it’s on a piece of land identified in 1983 by the regional district as having good potential as an air strip to serve the area. The report to the board by regional district administration ‘notes that as a matter of course the Ministry of Forests does not notify the regional district about its plans for land use. After discussing the situation at the Oct. 21 meeting, the board instructed administration to in- - vestigate ways and means for planning development around _ Meziadin Junction in particular and the Highway 37 corridor in general by contacting all the agencies involved.
