October 30, 2009. 

Road Update:

The following  was received October 28th. 

The Seymour Arm FSR gravel project and other works is now complete. We still have a minor project work @ 7 km crossing that will take place shortly, there may be a minor delay. Weather conditions required shut down of hauling the last amount of aggregate crush for some remaining turnouts and minor fill in areas, and the top application of Magnesium Chloride on a couple of sections. Plans are to complete next spring. We have the road side landings that require burning this fall, please use care when traveling past the active burn piles. Again we wish to convey our thanks for the patience of the local community and industry during the road construction process this summer/fall.

The Gorge FSR project is also complete.

I just ran across a deal on these Ozone water taps. I believe they would be helpful in killing Bacteria in Seymour Arm water supplies.  I don't have specific stats on what they will actually  produce but it has been mentioned to me that it is close to bottled water. These units produce their own power thru the water pressure off the tap same as a Pelton wheel. I have been using one at home for about a year now and it works fine. Ozone is also very effective removing chlorine. Lesley Milligan and Roy Bradley have them on their kitchen taps for the past 8 months or so in Seymour Arm.  I mention this as I had a concern of how long the generator would work. No reported problems to date.
 These units normally retail at $134.00 US

I have a limited amount at $119 can.
once these are gone they will cost around $165 can.
More Info

To order email Dave Milligan at email     Please put in Ozone tap on subject line

Ozone Air Generators
Ozone generators are widely used for the easy elimination of pet & skunk odors, smoke, mold, fungus, fire, flood, and almost any odor at work or at home. Ozone air generators, used properly can also be used to purify the air and recreate the same fresh air that you experience shortly after a thunder storm.
We are presently using them to eliminate odors in rental properties and homes for sale. With the high humidity in Seymour Arm in the fall, winter, and spring, cabins have a build up of mold etc. Ozone will eliminate odors in a couple of hours.
We liked it so much that we took on a dealership. 

We are just building  a website For more info please click here
