We have a new airstrip in the works , location is sheltered cove just north of Hatzic Lake it will take an other 3 weeks or so for the hay to come of the field, then some preparation the runway 15 is 1000ft+ long one way in and out the prevailing winds are from the water in the South .

here is a link to a google earth page that will show the exact location and related info .. look at the page...
there is a radio controlled airfield in the approach path about 2000 ft You will be at +- 300ft ,I have talked to them already so the are aware and know they have to give way to ( real) aircraft but it would be possible that if You see cars parked at the RC field to make a circle at 500ft before turning final.
in case the link does not work for You are the coordinates : 49 10' 47 N /122 15' 17 W

Well done Ron. We will have to plan an airstip opening event as soon as the strip is available.
