1956 National Geographic article on Kitimat

[SFUVancouver]

James Bond Agent 007, thank you very much for taking the time to scan and post this piece. Incredible.

I grew up reading National Geographics and loved these old long-form narrative pieces about infrastructure and major civil projects. This was not only fascinating, but made me feel nostalgic for curling up with a stack of National Geographics from a yard sale and spending a rainy day reading them from cover to cover.

My wife worked in Kitimat for a short time as part of her education and I visited her up there. Very neat town and it was absolutely hopping at the time as LNG Canada had just completed all of the staff infrastructure and was beginning work with the full workforce on Phase 1 of the LNG facility. The hustle and bustle back when the town was being built must have been something else.
