Notes
Pan-Abode is interlocking red cedar building materials invented in 1948 in British Columbia. The builders of Kitimat chose innovative materials such as Pan-Abode for the town. Pan-Abode was used in some of the first prototype homes on Kitimat's first streets - Oriole, Pintail, and Partridge. It is also an efficient building material as a structure can be assembled very quickly. Northern Sentinel Press Collection. P00226.jpg

Kitimat Skates was a local component that supplemented the Canadian Museum of History's traveling exhibition, 'Lace Up! Canada's Passion for Skating'. The Kitimat Museum and Archives supplemented the national museum exhibition with sixty years of Kitimat skating history. Did you know that the first skating rink was created when the municipality annually flooded the tennis courts at Nechako Centre? And, that the inventor of Marsh Pegs used by the NHL was a long-time Kitimat resident?
