History / Biographical
Born in Venlo, Holland in 1950, Gerry Hummel immigrated with his family to Canada in 1953. Gerry lived most of his life in Kitimat BC. While working at the local paper mill and raising two children as a single dad, he began working as a self-taught editorial cartoonist for the local paper in 1993. In 1995, he and the paper got sued by a local politician for being too honest(!). After that, the paper restricted his artistic freedom to such an extent that he was unable to continue working with them. After that, he continued drawing political cartoons and caricatures for specific causes, always taking the side of the little guy, the down-trodden, and the oppressed.

History / Biographical
The Kitimat Flora Collection was assembled by Gisela Mendel during her tenure as the Museum's first curator (1969-1981). Gisela had a lifelong interest in nature and the outdoors and knew the medicinal properties of many plants from working as a pharmacist in Germany. During her early years in Kitimat, she collected botanical specimens to send to the Royal BC Museum in Victoria and documented a new species of fern. As Curator, she identified natural history as a key area of focus for the new Kitimat Centennial Museum. The Northern Sentinel reported in 1972 that she gathered new floral specimens each weekend to replenish displays at the Museum. One of her largest projects was the creation of an ethno-botanical dictionary with the help of Haisla elders from Kitamaat Village, identifying the Haisla names and traditional uses for various local plants.

History / Biographical
The Aluminum City Telethon was started in 1980. The Kitimat Sports Association was approached by the board of directers of the Child Development Centre, and asked for their assistance in raising funds. The idea of a Telethon was agreed on and a committee was formed. Each year the Telethon executive receives requests from the different non-profit organizations within our own community. They then decide on how to disburse the funds raised that year. after the letters of requests are reviewed and a brief presentation is made to the board of directors explaining how the money received will be spent.
