 Although the
building which became know as Pow Wow Lodge had
been intended as a camp hospital in when built in 1948,
a new building was
constructed in 1949 with funds donated by the
Scottish Rite
Masons of Toronto and the J. P. Bickell Foundation. It was located at the
"main end" just west of Kennabi Lodge.
Hospital equipment
was donated by the J.F. Hartz Company.
[Originally founded
in 1897 by Johannes Frederick Hartz (born 1864), a German immigrant, as a
medical supply company specializing in imported German medical instruments,
doctors’ supplies and pharmaceuticals.]
In 1956 the building was extended at the
northwest end and eventually consisted of an examination room, and isolation
room, a ward and a bedroom for the camp nurse, totalling 640 sq ft.
By 1985 a new Health Centre had been
built farther west (north of the Beaver Campsite). The old camp hospital was
converted into a residence and renamed Bayview Lodge. For many years it was used
by Barb (75-87,92-99) and Ab Morrow (75-87,92-99).
