	THE STORY OF CLAYOQUOT SOUND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		While the controversy generating around Clayoquot Sound was painted by the government, the media, loggers' organizations and the forest industry as "jobs versus the environment" or "logging versus preservation", the debate involved much broader issues about the values of a society and the future it envisions for itself and for generations yet to come.
		The Clayoquot Sound Interim Measures Agreement signed with the First Nations was the first in a series of events that were to change the course of logging and resource management both in Clayoquot Sound and around the province.
		While the Clayoquot Sound area was excluded from the Commission's work, its recommendations; covering the remainder of the Island, were bound to have impact on the entire land-use debate, including on Clayoquot Sound.
