Photograph of the Haisla overpass was officially opened Friday by the first person to use it, Mrs.D. Linton. 87 Swan, who pushed a pram across the elevated walkway the first day the ramp was completed. At the ceremony Friday, Reeve Matt Gooding asked Mrs. Linton to cute the ribbon to make the opening of the structure.
