"EXPO A LA FRANCE
La belle France is bringing its own imitation flavor to Expo '67 with a pavilion that combines the traditional French romanticism with her dynamic spirit. Concieved by Paris architect, Jean Faugeron and Montreal co-architect Andre Blouin, the pavillion is a basic steel and concrete construction. Topping the structure will be a swirling canopy of bright-andoized aluminum blades which will create a reflective, halo-like grille-work atop the structure."

Jamieson came to Kitimat from Vancouver to work on the Alcan project in 1952. With his first pay cheque he bought a small "Pony Kodak" camera at the local store (Hudson Bay?), and started taking coloured slides of the Kitimat from 1952-1953. Left Kitimat at the end of August 1953 to move to Montreal.

Notes
Fourteen Sikorsky S-55 helicopters were used as workhorses and load carriers during construction. Carl Agar and his crew with Okanagan Helicopters took men and materials to otherwise inaccessible spots. Without these helicopters, Project engineers would never have maintained the construction schedule. Photographed by Art Hundert. Kitimat Heritage Advisory Commission Collection
