Nass Camp
Unincorporated
area
Cassiar Land District
Latitude-
55° 17' 0" N
Longitude-128° 59' 0" W
Nass Camp was and
is Private Property,
not an official Village, Town etc.,
but became a Logging Camp Settlement,
occupied and used for many years.
It was located
north of
Aiyansh
BC
In the middle of
the camp was a huge Community Center.
It was started in May 1971, by the Nass Valley Centennial Committee,
The Lions Club operated the bar inside.
It was opened in Dec 1971 after 2 years planning.
Prior to this,
dances and parties had to be held in the large dining hall.
Main employer and
owner of the Camp was Columbia Cellulose.
Later Skeena
Cellulose became the company name.
It was 115.6 acre
camp
Bill Young, from
Terrace, bought this property at one point,
and operated the Bil-Nor Tillicum Lodge there.
It was all sold in
Nov 30, 2010 to the Nisga'a Nation.
Grass Airport Runway was built north of the
camp,
behind the main cookhouse and bunkhouses.
We used to fuel up helicopters in that area.
Local fishing lake and swimming hole, was
Dragon Lake
just a bit north of the camp turnoff.
Nass Camp Post Office
There was a Post
Office in Nass Camp
Opened in Sept 16, 1976 by Judith "Judi" Appler
When Judith Appler
resigned in 1978
Ida Prosser took over.
First Post Office
was located just outside the Rec. Centre,
In the center of camp.
For some reason
this Official Post Office
isn't in the Canada Archives List.
Maybe because it was on private property.

Mount
Priestley near Nass Camp
My guess for the name- after a Mr. Priestley
who drowned in a canoe with a Mr. Parr,
near Aiyansh in the Naas River. on Wed. July 30, 1913
Priestley was one of Major K. C. C. Taylor's survey party
Mr. Parr was a pre-emptor.
Major Kenneth Churchill Craige Taylor
DSO, BCLS,
was doing surveys in this area,
when he enlisted in WWI, and died Sept 11, 1916.
