Photo showing adaptability by this Alpine Helicopter using the abandoned foundation of the former Canadian National Railways freight shed as a launching pad. The machine, a regular visitor to Kitimat's Service Centre, is used by mining prospectors on exploratory sorties into the surrounding areas.

"EXPO A LA FRANCE
La belle France is bringing its own imitation flavor to Expo '67 with a pavilion that combines the traditional French romanticism with her dynamic spirit. Concieved by Paris architect, Jean Faugeron and Montreal co-architect Andre Blouin, the pavillion is a basic steel and concrete construction. Topping the structure will be a swirling canopy of bright-andoized aluminum blades which will create a reflective, halo-like grille-work atop the structure."

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
