Photo showing "Serenity surrounds Hazelton's hospital". Five miles away from the picturesque and majestic-looking Rocher DeBoule Mountain sits serenely the proud hospital of Hazelton - the Wrinch Memorial Hospital - named after the late Dr. Horace Wrinch, the town's most popular doctor. The hospital, built in 1930, has become a self-contained community, possessing its own water and drainage systems, maintenance shop, laundry and gardens. A number of homes for doctors and staff members are located in spacious grounds adjacent to the hospital building. A beautiful golf course and one of the few if not the only birch groves, adorns the landscape.

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.
