the growth of

dency on forestry and mining.

: Explaining the Valhalla Park proposal, society member —
Wayne McCrory said a 1974 application for a wilderness

conservancy taking in most of the area on the west side of
Slocan Lake was rejected by the public and the provincial
government because “they felt it was too restrictive just
asking for a wilderness area that didn't fit in with the tourism

growing in the valley.”

The present proposal,
McCrory told directors, is the
result of a study conducted
by a Selkirk College student
and calls for a Class “A” park
with an expanded -trail and
recreation system. A trail
along the Slocan Lake shore-
line, and to the Valhalla
mountain range, a “hut sys-
tem” similar to the one used
in New Zealand parks, prim-
itive. wilderness areas and

ial ski paths would also
be included, he said.

“That lets us take the

west side of the lake, leaving
the east side exposed to in-
dustrial development,” he
explained. “We're asking the
east side of the lake to be a
restricted logging area that
would allow the mining and
logging to continue the way it
has, but with careful control
to preserve the scenery of
the: valley. That would be
restricted, Jonging or selec-
live logging “for small clear
cuts that mimic natural open-
ings like slide paths.”
+ Qutlining the’ proposal's
economic bénefits, delegation
member Derek Willans said
high unemployment in the
Kootenays, and particularly
in the Slocan Valley, has
resulted from the: lack of
significant industries other
than forestry and mining.

Although by 1951 the
average income in the Koot-
enays was higher than that of
any other region in B.C., he
said, 20 years later the
average was lower than the

. provincial average or that of

any other region. While the
average family income in the

Kootenays is $8,674 compar-

ed to the B.C. average of
$9,487, the Slocan Valley
average is “considerably low-
er,” he told RDCK directors.

Willans added that while
trade, finance and service
represents 46 per cent of B.C.
industry it represents 36 per
cent in the Kootenays and
only 14 per cent in the Slocan
Valley. g

A total of 22 per cent of
the work force is involved in
the primary industries, he

“There isn't much manu-
facturing there, so what do
people do? They have to go
outside the district, so 23 per
cent of the labor force works
outside the Slocan Valley.”

Valhalla timber repre-
sents about six pet cent of
the 192,680 cunits, according
to 1976 figures, of uncut
timber remaining in the
Slocan Valley, Willans told
the board. He said the
“boardrooms in Vancouver”
controlling logging in the
valley are seeking a "tradeoff
to efficiency” to log the prop-
osed park site and increase
the amount of timber put
through area sawmills. -

“This will give you a few
more jobs,” he said. “But we
think this is an option we
have and we should exercise

a great deal of care before we

say ‘go ahead and log that
area.’ "

He pointed out that
20,000 tourists already pass
through the Slocan Valley
each year.

“There's already another
industry there that’s in the
offing,” the-Valhalla Wilder-
ness Society spokesman said.
“If they were to stay in there

for three nights they would”

spend roughly $30 a night. It
would make about $1 million
a: year for this small valley,
which would be more than
what would be earned log-
ging in the Valhalla.”

Even the location of a
manufacturing or pi
industry plant in the‘ valley
would probably not provide
the same benefit to residents,
he told directors.

“Suppose 'we wanted to

need ‘tradesmen, engineers,
managers, accountants.”

. “I doubt’: very much
they'd come from the Slocan
Valley,” be continued. “You'd

have to bring them in from.

outside, and who would get

‘the dirty jobs on the green

chain? It would be the guy in
the Slocan Valley.”

Unlike the Arrow Lakes
reservoir, the level of which
“is governed entirely by a

-yoyo system,” Slocan Lake

still has a natural drainage
and nearly all-the property
on its west side is in Crown
hands, Willans said.

“On this side we have a
road, villages, all the basic
facilities a park would need,”
he said. “It’s already there.
We don't have to pay any
money, we don't have to go to
the government and ask
them for money.”

Other positive features
of the proposed park site
include its visibility and
accessibility to motor vehi-
cles, he said.

“The mountain ranges
are very, very scenic and
driving along, at the side of
the road, you see the park,”
Willans said. :

“In the Kootenays you
don't see any park. There's
Kokanee Glacier Park but
how do you see it? You can't
see it by driving around.”

Willans also noted the
lack of adequate lakeshore
recreation area in the Koot-
enays, :

“We've got a lot of
cottage living going on at
lakeshore levels and very
little access to the lake-
shore,” he told the board. “In
fact we've got one per cent of
all the major water bodies’
shorelines reserved for rec-
reation. If we took the Slocan
Lake's 18 miles of shoreline

‘on the west side we would

increase that figure to four
per cent.”

The delegation pointed
out to the RDCK board that a
recent door-to-door survey of
Silverton and New Denver
and surrounding communi-
ties by the society indicated
“we have about 95 per cent
supportive of the Valhalla
proposal — including most of
the loggers working there.”

Most RDCK directors
Saturday supported ‘the
proposal, and the board indi-
cated it would discuss en-
dorsing the park plan at a
later tin :
