History / Biographical
John Ware was a past employee of the Kitimat Town Planning Department (1957-1959). He was hired by Hollister Kent, Planning Director for Kitimat. During his two years here, Dr. ware designed the first Kitimat street signs, the Haisla Boulevard overpass, and the Hirsch Creek Park shelter centennial project (1858-1958). He was layed off when Alcan lost major Aluminum buyers and the town expansion halted, resulting in a cut back of Kirtimat employees. He then moved to the USA.
Custodial History

Notes
Further info on the shelter - the shelter was one of about five ideas that John Ware was asked to come up with by the Kitimat Centennial Committee. He then decided the this version would be the one to fit the build. The yellow glazed bricks were imported from Texas, even though they were ordered from a Canadian firm. He wanted a bright permanent colour that would require little maintenece. The 'sculpture' was made of pieces of triangular sheet steel on steel supports, with a colored enamel finish - similar to the original fireplace, which was red. The triangular sheets that made up the sculpture yellow and green? and intended to look like steel fir trees. The likely reason the sculpture was removed was that there was a fear if anyone climbed onto the shelter and jump down, they may impale themselves on the sharp steel.

History / Biographical
James McNay was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on January 31, 1907. Between 1951 and 1953, he worked in the payroll department for Alcan. He had to leave his wife Effie and his two young daughters, Margaret and Diane, aged 6 and 5 in 1951, at home in Surrey, B.C., during his 3-4 month stints in Kitimat. To fill some of his free time and show his family where he was and what Kitimat was like, he spent many hours walking in the area with a 35mm Kodak camera. He photographed the scenic beauty of the area and parts of the construction of both the smelters and the town. He died in Surrey on August 7, 1983.
Custodial History
Donated by Margaret McNay. Images were taken by her father and sent to their family in Surrey in the 1950s.
