Bunkhouses

These bunkhouses were built for the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Company in the 1930’s and used in Copper Canyon (10 miles west of the Discovery Centre along the Chemainus River).

Notice the skids on the bottom of these buildings. Early logging camps were located along rail lines. Buildings with skids could be loaded onto flat rail cars and moved from one camp location to another. Once located, boardwalks were used to connect the buildings.
