Photograph of Kitimat's youngsters gathered at Nechako centre on the first Sunday in March 1964, to wave goodbye as parents boarded buses for the airport and first of two Kitimat Works Sport Association sponsored charter flights to Europe. In some cases fathers went, in others mother, and still others, whole families. Most of the 200 residents who took advantage of the flights, available to Kitimat works employees, were of European background and many were making first jouney back to their homelands since coming to Canada. All returned four weeks later, with only one casualty, a broken elbow for seven year old Thomas Goyert, who tumbled while playing in his grandmothers garden in Karlsruhe, Germany. Alcan allowed hourly paid employees leave of absence to take advantage of the flights.
