"Minto" and winter recreation/festivities and other scenes at the town of Mica.

Arrangement
This material, comprising about 1,350 feet in total, was selected at the BC Archives from several cans of footage shot for (or out-takes from) "The New Columbia" and other related BC Hydro films. It was selected for preservation because it depicts aspects of the Columbia River project that receive less emphasis in the completed films, and provides additional footage of landscapes that disappeared when the area was flooded.
