Hunting Survey Corporation Limited of Toronto completed 291 square miles 

 of aerial photography in the 1963 rephotography contract area. Following a public 

 call for tenders, Capital Air Surveys Limited of Ottawa was awarded the 1964 

 rephotography contract which involves 12,602 square miles in the District of Sault 

 Ste. Marie, Manitoulin Island and the south portion of Chapleau District. Adverse 

 weather conditions prevented the completion of this contract resulting in a total 

 production of 5,712 square miles of photography. 



Map revision contracts for the purpose of updating the base maps of the 1962 

 and 1963 rephotography areas and a portion of the 1961 contract area were 

 awarded to Spartan Air Services Limited of Ottawa, and Hunting Survey Corpor- 

 ation Limited respectively. These contracts were completed during the fiscal year 

 and represent a production of revision mapping on 51,590 square miles.

 ground samples in the Crown Management Units of those Districts. These parties 

 had either a graduate forester or an experienced forest technician as party chief 

 with university students making up the balance. 



Photo interpretation was completed on the above field work representing an

 District, the Gillies Management Unit in North Bay District, and a portion of the 

 E. B. Eddy Licence in Swastika District.
