Samuel Bray, D.L.S., was the chief surveyor of the Department of Indian Affairs in 1905.[1]
Fort William Reserve
At the time of the 1905 Railway Taking, the department's surveyor told the Fort William Band that he wanted the whole reserve and that the band would be moved elsewhere, according to the historian P. Whitney Lackenbauer.[2] The sites of the band's two new villages, and the road between them, were surveyed in 1905–1906.[3]
