1962 - 1972Two Rivers, One Company
The WAC Bennet dam and Williston Reservoir at dusk. The Peace River project was one of the largest developements of it's kind in the world. It provided thousands of jobs and stimulated industrial growth. The G.M. Shrum Generating Station has an average energy capability of 1,310 gigawatt hours. From Chetwynd, from Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, from Vanderhoof and Prince George, from Kamploops and Vernon, from Courtenay, Port Alberni and Nanaimo came men and euipment to merge with the Vancouver crews against the mass of tangled lines and toppled and broken poles that lay in the wake of Typhoon Frieda... The deep orange colour of the hard hats of the former BCE linemen mingled with the bright yellow of the former BCPC as truck after truck rolled in and out of the Carrall Street yard. -- Intercom, 1962
