This site is mainly about Powell River, British Columbia .
Powell River has been around since the turn of the century, and began its days as a Lumber Town. The history behind Powell River is not long, nor glamorous but it has its interesting parts, having the first medical care plan, first telephone in British Columbia, also has the shortest river in the world, among other things.
Most if this history has been recorded however it has been in the last decade that I have noticed the remaining visual and verbal history has slowly been lost. Logging has been Powell Rivers main industry since its begining and the surrounding area is largly second growth and some now going onto the third growth. The things being lost are irreplacable, and although it would be nice to save it all, its impossible due to many things
