Bannock Point Development and Enhancement
In 2009, 2010 and 2011, during our first three years of operation, we focussed on local job creation, a safer community, and stewardship of our landbase. Over $1,300,000 was brought into the Community of the Slocan Valley and many jobs were created. 2012 will see us focus on continuing our investment in wildland-urban interface work with a $400,000 investment grant going toward 47 Hectares of Land between the Village of Silverton and the Red Mountain Resident area. We will also begin harvesting some trees in the southern portion of our landbase. Please browse our website and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
