Bannock Point Development and Enhancement
In 2009 and 2010, during our first two years of operation, we focussed on local job creation, a safer community, and stewardship of our landbase. Over $1,200,000 was brought into the Community of the Slocan Valley and many jobs were created. 2011 will see us focus on acquiring a long-term license and continuing our investment in wildland-urban interface work. We will also begin harvesting some trees in the southern portion of our landbase. Please browse our website and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
