When the camp for the Red Rock Falls crew was constructed, much of the tree cover was retained, giving the buildings the appearance of a carefully planned camp. This was necessary to preserve the beauty of the area. The administration office and service buildings were constructed on both sides of the road that overlooked the river. The dormitories, cafeteria, recreation center, and colony were grouped away from the work area to make the men more comfortable.
The camp accommodated only about 60% of the men that were employed on the project. The remainder of the men travelled back and forth between work and their homes daily. Because Red Rock was located so close to other communities, there was no need for schools and a hospital to be constructed. Hydro even contributed money to the schools in the area to help with the cost of extra classrooms that had to be built for all of the children. |
