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.

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.
