"On 30 September 1988, the provincial Government announced that it intended to proceed with a mix of logging and recreational activity in the Stein Valley and to start work on an access road. This decision was heavily criticized by native and environmental groups. The Lytton and Mount Currie Bands asked Fletcher Challenge Canada Ltd., a New Zealand-based company, and the holder of the cutting rights to the area, to stop all logging development in the area. On 13 April 1989, Fletcher Challenge indicated that it would cease all activities in the disputed Stein Valley for at least a year. This apparently was done in order to give the provincial Government and the Lytton and Mount Currie Bands time to resolve their dispute over the future of the Stein Valley. Efforts to seek a solution to this dispute are currently under way." China 35.
