The land under reflection for a downtown Wal-Mart has been cleared, but the store is not really coming to town just yet. "We're just taking the trees and trash out, getting it ready for any commercial site development," said Campbell River Indian Band Chief Robert Pollard. "We thought the brilliant time to take it down was now, we couldn't do it in the fall."
He said the band and Wal-Mart are yet talking about a latent development, there are no contracts signed yet and there's nothing ultimate in writing. However, in the past week, band-owned land next to Highway 19A, across Maple Street from the Quinsam Hotel, has gone for land clearing. The band's land across the highway, among the highway and 16th Avenue, has also been logged and cleared.
