• If you are looking for travel information for the Cassiar area please be advised that I am not living there and have no current information on services, fuel, road conditions, etc. You will find some information from the Province of British Columbia's Ministry of Highways website at http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/popular-topics/driver_info/route-info/hwy37/hwy37.htm
   

• Claims for Asbestos Related Illnesses
   

• Canadian Magnesium Inc. was engaged in extracting magnesium and recovering asbestos fibre from the tailings pile at the Cassiar site. They started shipping ore to market February 2000. A fire on December 25, 2000 burned to the ground the old mill and the new (1972) mill so that may have impact the operation significantly. There are photos of the mill after the fire in the Photo Album.
   

• On September 16, 1992 The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) covered the auction in Cassiar when the mine was shut down. The CBC website has a webpage featuring a short (2:11) TV clip of the coverage. Look for Lee & Tony Coran in their panabode home. On the "Did you know" screen on that page I was surprised to find a link back to this website. Go to http://archives.cbc.ca/400d.asp?IDCat=75&IDDos=608&IDLan=1&IDCli=3327&Type=0&NoCli=8&PS=3398t3400t3401t3324t3325t3326t3403t3327t3412&IDMenu=0&h=0&i=0
   

• When Cassiar closed the newly-built, six-month old William Storie High School (see story in Trivia section) was moved to Hudson's Hope.
   

• Abandoned, but not forgotten at http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/abandoned_in_canada.htm
  There you will find several (at least 9) links to pages with photos taken recently at Cassiar. Look for "Cassiar" in the long list of links. They are not grouped by by location, or even by province and the word "Cassiar" may appear at the beginning of the line, or within it, so you have to scroll and read carefully.
  Contributor & photographer Gina Knight assured me "Please understand that these are posted because of our love for the "left behind". We in no way harm the places we visit. We "take only photographs, leave only footprints"."
   

• Margery Loverin, assisted by Shannon Mark (Ray Lahti's wife), has created a Cassiar Cemetery page on the http://www.findagrave.com website complete with a record of all internments.
