Notes
Fourteen Sikorsky S-55 helicopters were used as workhorses and load carriers during construction. Carl Agar and his crew with Okanagan Helicopters took men and materials to otherwise inaccessible spots. Without these helicopters, Project engineers would never have maintained the construction schedule. Photographed by Art Hundert. Kitimat Heritage Advisory Commission Collection
