Snow Lake and Water Treatment

Wednesday March 29, when we were in Snow Lake in the afternoon, we took time to visit the local water treatment plant which is being upgraded. Gary Zamzow and Dale (top photo) took us on a tour to see the progress. Gary, in his usual cowboy hat, looked over every part of the plant very carefully (bottom photo)

It is a difficult time for Snow Lake at the moment with the closing of the New Brittannia mine last year. The population has dropped from about 1250 people down to about 850. But Mayor Zamzow and his council are determined to build for the future, and there is a lot of exploration being done now and certainly much potential for increased mining activity in the future.

Mayor Zamzow and his council would much appreciate some cooperation from the province in allowing them to proceed with development of additional lots on Wekusko Lake. For some unexplained reason their request of 18 months ago has met with long delays by the province.
