Miniature aluminum ingot – prior to the tri-lock design – presented to delegates on the Vancouver Board of Trade Goodwill Tour in 1960. The Vancouver Board of Trade also sent a 220-member industrial tour party in 1955 to visit the new towns of Kitimat and Kemano.
Framed certificate and signatures of Kitimat's Italian population, dated 1959. Perhaps the original documentation for the founding of the Kitimat Italian Club. Date in Roman Numerals. There is fancy writing in Italian above the signatures. The writing reads "Agli ospitali amici Canadesi gli Italiani in Kitimat in segno duraturo di leale collaborazione i Libri della sezlone Italiana qui istituira Dffrono." It is surrounded by an illustrated border that features a book and quill on top, and a red ensign and Italian flag crossed over on the top left corner.
