Kemano, Wachwas, or Camp 5 was the Morrison-Knudsen administrative centre and home base for tunnel and transmission line construction workers. The permanent Kemano community was begun in 1957, and the first permanent houses were completed for the workers who would run the Powerhouse by the fall of 1958.
