Mosaic Forest Management and Hupacasath First Nation partner on campground

Access to Loon Lake, just outside of Port Alberni, will be closed as construction of a new campground begins.

Mosaic Forest Management announced back in November a partnership with Hupacasath First Nation to build a campground at Loon Lake. The campground is expected to open in spring 2022 with 27 campsites.

Jolleen Dick, an elected councillor for Hupacasath First Nation, said the nation has been building and maintaining a relationship with Mosaic “for a number of years.” This relationship was recently solidified by a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that crystalizes the mutual commitment to work jointly on business, cultural and sustainability initiatives within Hupacasath territory.

Although Mosaic will be managing the new campsite, Dick says that Hupacasath will still be involved.
