Yes, it was a good day; this mess has been a problem for several years.  We removed alot of stuff, some of which was an environmental concern - thanks to all the volunteers and the Provincial guys (you know who you are) for getting this done.
Special thanks to the Soowahlie Indian Band who helped in the cleanup big time and supplied coffee and donuts!

I should have been there to help but was out of town hunting. A big thanks to you and the others that worked at the site for several hours getting it done.

Chris, you don't need to apologize for being away hunting - you have done, and are continuing to do, far more than most in the Chilliwack area to better the local environment and the sport fishing community. 
Jetboatjim, don't know where they will relocate.  I know they have been offered alternate shelter and I sincerely hope they accept that. 

It was disconcerting when we realized we were dismantling peoples homes; clothing, blankets, books, toothpaste, mirrors, etc.  Don't misunderstand, I believe this was the right move but still, it seems to me society has somehow failed when people are forced/or have decided to live like this. 

I understand MOF has donated 50 Cedar trees that will be planted at the site.   It's going to look good again soon.

Don't second guess what you guys did...it will eat you up.  Life will go on for them, hopefully in a more appropriate location.
