  • Wells Gray Park
    reconnaissance and preliminary recreation plan wells gray park by c.p. lyons Parks Section forest economics division b.c. Forest Service – 1941 – Reference No. p41 General file: 0135867 preface Wells Gray Park is an outstanding potential recreational area; it has remarkable scenic attractions as well as exceptional fishing, big game hunting and wilderness area possibilities. The Park is located about 100 miles north of Kamloops in the Kamloops Forest District and is accessible by the Caribou and North Thompson River regions. The proper development of this area as a Provincial Park depends upon planned recreational management in order to adequately provide for present and future use. With this objective in mind, a reconnaissance of the Park was made in 1940 by Mr. C.P. Lyons, whose report and preliminary recreation plan is herein detailed. Sufficient information is now available to introduce planned management but it is still necessary to make further investigations before extensive developments take place. For the time being commercial lodge and campsite privileges on Crown land should be restricted to a minimum and, if possible, confined to guides of hunting and fishing parties who now make use of the Park. It would be particularly advisable to limit locations for commercial enterprises to the specific regions detailed in this report and to stipulate a maximum value for construction and development work. By so doing adjustments could be more easily made to suit any detailed management plan which may be prepared in the future. Existing private use on Crown land should be brought under a permit system and there is no reason why expansion in this direction should not be encouraged.

    1 SIMPCW “People of the North Thompson River” The Simpcw are a Culturally Proud Community Valuing Healthy, Holistic Lifestyles based upon Respect, Responsibility and Continuous Participation in Growth and Education Since time immemorial the Simpcw occupied the lands of the North Thompson River upstream from McLure to the headwaters of the Fraser River from McBride to Tete Jeune Cache, east to Jasper and south to the headwaters of the Athabasca River. The Simpcw are a division of the Secwepemc, or Shuswap. The Simpcw speak the Secwepemc dialect, a SalishanSalis language, shared among many of the First Nations in the FraserFr and Thompson River drainage. The Simpcw traveled throughoutthrou the spring, summer and fall, gathering food and materialsmate which sustained them through the winter. During the winterwin months they assembled at village sites, in the valleys close to rivers, occupying semi-underground houses. Archaeological studiesst have identifi ed winter home sites and underground foodfo cache sites at a variety of locations including Finn Creek, Vavenby,V Birch Island, Chu Chua, Barriere River, Louis Creek, Tete Jeune, Raush River, Jasper National Park and Robson Park. Simpcw peoplepe value their positive relationships with non-native people in thethe NorthNorth ThompsonThomp and Robson Valleys. They also recognize that their key strength lies in maintaining links to their traditional heritage and look forward to securing a place for their children in contemporary society that they can embrace with pride. The Simpcw culture is community driven for the management, conservation and protection of all the Creator’s resources. Box 220, Barriere, B.C.

  • Canada's First Mountain Helicopter Rescue
    CANADA’S FIRST MOUNTAIN HELICOPTER RESCUE SEPTEMBER 23, 1950 The Vancouver Sun Nanaimo Daily News (Sept. 25) 1 Recently Uncovered Mountain Rescue This recently uncovered event was possibly the first mountain rescue by helicopter in Canada. News of the rescue was broadcast over the radio and made newspapers across Canada. At the time, television broadcasting was only just beginning and very few people had TVs, but most everyone had radios. According to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa Ontario, "It seems that you have uncovered Canada's first mountain helicopter rescue. We could not find other similar events that dated further back". Albert David Flowers was working as a Forestry Lookout-man on a remote mountain in Wells Gray Park (along with his son Gerald). It was a two-day trek to get there and that’s already from a remote homestead. Albert was tasked with getting out daily weather and fire reports. While there, he suffered an injury to his right leg that got progressively worse, so they radioed for a medical evacuation. Pilot D. K. “Deke” Orr of Okanagan Air Services was called away while flying for a mining company operating high in the mountains south of Hope BC. He arrived in a Bell 47B-3 helicopter, (CF-FZX) to fly Albert to the Kamloops hospital for treatment. It was lucky that his son Gerald was with him to clear an area for the helicopter to land. With his bad leg, Albert could not have done it. Gerald had just turned 15 and took several pictures of the rescue.
