City of Powell River council approved $5,275 from the city’s community forest reserve to help pay the costs of transporting the Anderson steam-sawmill collection from Burnaby to Powell River at its April 6 meeting. The collection of logging equipment, which Powell River Historical Museum and Archives was unable to buy in 1976, was sold to Burnaby Village Museum. Long-time Cranberry resident Andy Anderson used the equipment at his mill in Mowat Bay; it dates back to the 1870s. Council previously approved $12,000 for the collection’s purchase. All parts of the collection have been returned to Powell River except the last, largest piece. Councillor CaroleAnn Leishman told council the collection’s return has been
taking place over the past two years and the last section requires heavy-duty machinery to move, which could become available at any time. Leishman said if the money was not available for transport now, it may delay the return of the collection by another year. She said museum staff hoped to have the collection back and assembled in time for the start of the summer tourism season. The grant application was one of several the community forest board put forward for council’s approval. The others will be decided in May.
