Mr WOOD - 2006-03-30
In February 2004, you made some positive comments about preserving a site near the East Arm Leprosarium. On my last visit past that area, haul trucks were still using the old road to the leprosarium site, and the old Gmelina trees that flanked the entrance were looking worse for wear. When the memorial is to be erected and the entrance preserved? Why has it taken so long for this to occur?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Nelson for his question. I stand by my commitment to that memorial, member for Nelson. I will get back to you. We were waiting for the interpretive sign to be finished. In talking to Sister Anne Gardiner and others who were associated with the East Arm Leprosarium, there were some photos and other information still coming. However, I will undertake to follow that up and find out where it is and get back to you.
