Photo showing Alderma Joe Banyay. "Why shouldn't it be? What harm could it do?", he answered when questioned about Bill 85. He said he had no objection to the proposed legislation and he felt it could eliminate a lot of ill feeling.

Banyay lived in Kitimat from 1952 to 1984 and was involved in many aspects of the town's creation, including the drilling of the Kemano Tunnel, the surveying of the smelter and townsite, and the creation of Cablecar Subdivision. He also served on the town council, Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, and Kitimat Hospital board, and other organizations. He is the namesake of Banyay Avenue.
Photograph of the Granduc Mine, 32 miles from Stewart, was viewed last Friday by Joe Banyay of Kitimat and the other directors of Skeena "B" Regional District. Construction, which involves an 11 and a half mile tunnel though solid rock to the main ore body, has been practically halted since February over a labour dispute. The towns population is now fast slipping from it's winter high of 750 as workmen move away.
