Re Wayne's book
Doug and Lucille Folland  9lucille@telus.net
My name is Doug Folland ,our family lived in Seymour Arm from the spring o1940 to 1942.Reading the book reminded me of many things from back then. I remember the Collins brothers very well as they treated us kids great, also Vern Daniels would come and visit us quite often. We called Seymour Arm the mosquito capital of BC.

sleigh riding on the beach in Seymour. Was taken early in the winter
We're having a very warm and snowless winter here. Probably only about 8" of wet soggy snow out there. We are still driving the cutter on the beach as a matter of fact which would normally be impossible.

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
