Several who had helped pre pare the inquiry Book were Here to discuss the findings with representatives of local organizations. The speaker prior to the general discussion period was prof. S. Trachtenberg one of the authors. Although the views of most of the organizations represented were presented the main criticism came from three or four members of the chamber. Chamber members said the report appeared to Centre its main interest around the newly developing Central part of the North that comprises the Thompson District. It was claimed flin fion had been forgotten by those making the study. The main criticism was the agreement in the report of the construction of a Highway lint ing Lynn Lake with Thompson and failure to suggest a High Way should join Lynn Lake and flin flon the next few years. It was argued that the suggestion by the commission that a Road from Lynn Lake to flin flon should be considered in 1990 might be too late to save flin flon the oldest mining Community in the Northern part of the province. The commission was told consideration of the fact Fliri flon had a smelter for treating Copper Ore was apparently overlooked. It was pointed out Sherritt Gordon mines at Lynn Luke had discovered two Large Copper Ore bodies and there was he possibility of other Copper discoveries throughout the Iso Miles Between the two Points. The Road running North from flin flon would also pass through the present communities of Sherridon and Lukata Wagon and would travel through some of the finest Lake country in the continent. The Road would attract hundreds of tourists and provide an Economy for the people along its route. The link with flin flon would provide a much Shorter route for the people of Lynn Lake wishing to visit the South. It was mentioned the. Road from Lynn Lake had to run consider Able distance East to Thompson the Lynn Lake travel Ler would be forced to turn West again to Pontoon and the Highway South to Winnipeg. The extra distance via Thompson would increase the Cost of living in Lynn Lake Over what it could be with the Shorter route through flin flon. Regarding the Cost of the proposed Road chamber Mem Bers claimed that if it would be of economic value to Northern Manitoba then it should be built immediately. It was claimed this Road would open up both Mineral Zed and tourist areas the returns Over the years would far offset the Cost., the commission had Over looked the fact business places in Lynn Lake do considerable business with wholesale and other Supply houses in flin flon and the Road to the East would Likely take away this business. To support its claim the commission was concerned mainly Over the area East of Here chamber members suggested that a Road should link Thompson with Gillam. It a argued that flooding of the Southern Indian Lake to put the Nelson River Power Plant int full production would see Only few Hundred people living Gillam following the construe Tion period. Yet the commission suggested a Road at least 150 Miles Ion should be constructed in tha part of the North. Chambe members also wondered we the commission suggested the Gillam Road should be extended on to Churchill when it appeared most of the people would be leaving the Northern seaport chamber members said the were not against any Road being constructed in the North providing flin flon received the same consideration As the othe Northern regions. Members from the Touris Section criticized the com mis Sion for making no mention the possibility and need for a National Park in the area Between flin flon and the Pas. The commission had suggested that Federal assistance in developing the North should t made available and yet hat ignored the possible National Park that would be provide with Federal funds. Regarding improvements to existing Parks in the Touris Section of the report there a criticism Over the failure of the provincial government to develop provincial Parks. It a agreed that two provincial Parks at Clearwater Lake an Grassy River had been Esta wished but they were Little More than Green blocks on the map and a couple of expensive signs. The chamber wondered wha the commission meant by statement that in. Flin flon an the Pas Pha plets were handed out advising tourists to trave the Manitoba Saskatchewan vac a Tion route that went West o flin flon and the Pas into Saskatchewan. The commission be More attempts should be mad to Send the tourist East from what it described As the Prim tourist area Between the and flin flon. Chamber members argued the Hnnson Lake Road running into Saskatchewan from flin flon brought Many tourists from the neighbouring provinces through to Alberta end Britis Columbia into flin flon. It a claimed the commission s suggestion that a Circle rout should be developed on the Road leaving Highway 10 South o Cranberry Portage and trave Ling East to Thompson mean tourists taking this route Wool be 40 Miles from flin plot when they turned East t Thompson or South to the a when travelling the opposite direction. The flin flon chamber als expressed concern Over failure of the commission to consider air travel from the Northern area to the West. It was said Southern Manitoba has such a Westerly service and As Many people in Northern Manitoba originally came from Saskatchewan and Alberta there should a direct service Between flin flon and Prince Albert.
