Desirable Settlers Promised For Bella Coola Colony
A party of about 80 Norwegians led by Rev Sangstadt arrived at Victoria bound for Bella Coola to settle and cultivate. The plan offers leases of 160 acres per family for five years with 5 per acre rent, free crown grants after improvements, and transport to settlements with wagon roads. Government hopes this adds capital, develops deep sea fisheries, and repays provincial debt while attracting first quality settlers. Lord and Lady Aberdeen greeted them at Sicamous. Col. Baker welcomed them in Victoria.
