FLOATPLANE INFORMATION

New float plane company operating out of Nimpo Lake.
Lakes District Air Services Ltd. have operated in the North Tweedsmuir Park for a number of years. Recently, Nick and Mary Hawes have taken over the Burns Lake end of the business and have hooked up with Sid and Cora Blackwell of Nimpo Lake to cover the south end of the park and surrounding country. They also plan on offering a plane on skis for winter flying. Sid and Cora were born and bred on the Chilcotin and both are very experienced pilots.

Tweedsmuir Air Services will continue to operate as before.

Both companies offer good deals on flight-seeing tours because Nuk Tessli is already part way there. (Flight-seeing tours are best organized on the way in to Nuk Tessli because of the extra weight of the fuel.)

Both companies also offer accommodation.
