I drove out to Hospital Beach today and it was packed with schoolchildren having a wonderful day out of school. It is located on the site of the original 'Smeltersite' area which housed the new pioneers while today's residential community was under construction. It is very popular offering broad views of the Douglas Channel, surrounding mountains, industrial wharves, Kitamaat Village, the original aboriginal settlement and MK Bay Marina. This was where the first hospital was set up. The next 3 storey hospital was built later and was demolished a couple of years ago when it's very modern substitute was opened. You can see Alcan in the background and the deep water dock where the aluminum ingots are chipped all over the world.
As original sites, here is the old Hudson's Bay site also.
