Logging is coming to Suphurous Lake via West Fraser Mills and Forest Stewardship Plan CP 064. FLA20001. The area proposed is the east side of Hathaway Lake, the north side of Sulphurous Lake and a section on Deka. It’s crown land, and they will make their own roads.
An information meeting, to answer your questions, is scheduled for 4 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 17 at Mountain Spruce Community Events Centre, on 7571 Pettyjohn Rd., Sulphurous Lake.
