who we become

Every version of this town's history that mattered — the fishing fleets, the logging camps, the mill in its good decades — was built by people who were willing to do hard, technical, often unglamorous work in a place other people flew over or drove past. Nobody built Elk Falls Mill because Campbell River was the obvious, easy choice. They built it because the resource and the workforce were both actually here. The same logic applies to this proposal, just pointing at a different kind of resource: real coastline, real radio signals, real skilled people willing to learn a new trade. That's not a small thing to have going for us, ten years out from wherever this ends up.
