During the meeting a written brief outlining the im- pact and benefits of the pro- .posed park and a slide show with accompanying soundtrack were presented. Tt was learned during the .Stay in Victoria that the pro- vincial parks branch has taken the’ position that the entire 122,000-acre proposal slong the shores of Slocan Lake should receive park status, The branch sent two per- ‘sonuel into’ the area in: the summer of 1975 to assess park potential and their final report contains the positive recom- mendation.
