Photograph of One doesn't expect happy smiles to accompany a farewell but that's just what the photographer got when he asked these youngsters to wave goodbye to summer. Next week, playground shenanigans will be replaced by more structured activities but the kids don't seem to mind the prospect.

Photograph of What's more fun than an old inner tube? An added benefit for these youngsters at Lindsey Memorial Pool is the saftey factor. There is always supervision at the pool so kids can have fun and parents can relax.

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.
