This is Port Neville and the Hansen family and descendants have lived here for over 100 years. The building in front of the government dock was built in 1895. It is in the process of being restored to its original state using the family's heirlooms. Lorna Hansen Chesluk, the daughter, is now the postmaster as her father was in the past. There are no roads so mail is delivered once weekly by floatplane. She lives alone since her daughter has recently gone to Campbell River to attend High School. It is truly an isolated life with the exception of the boats that pull in to avoid heavy weather conditions on Johnstone strait.
