Alcan smelter employees returning to work after layoffs due to plant shut down caused by a rock slide in Kemano tunnel. (Rock Fall in the Kemano Power tunnel 65' long, 140' high, and 125 cubic yards of material) cut off power to Kitimat plant. Only after a dewatering of the tunnel, was power restored.

Kitimat was the place to be in North America in the 1950s. The massive Alcan project in the northwest British Columbia was completed in just five years - dam, tunnel, powerhouse, Kemano, transmission line, smelter, and Kitimat. Browse through Kitimat history with these project images - a BC digital collection. The project was one of the most photographed and filmed construction jobs in BC history.
