Church legacy continues |

I CAN’T help but keep thinking
of the little, old Anglican church
that was moved from Terrace to
Kitwancool.

I think the moving was a projeci
of the late Gregory Rush when
the old Carey property was sold
to Overwaitea in 1970.

A couple years ago, I had the
opportunity to go to Kitwancool
which was very interesling be-
cause of the beautiful totem poles
we saw there.

While in Kitwancool, I made a
special effort to go and have a
look at the little church.

Because it’s no longer in use,
the windows have all been broken
and the building was looking in
very bad shape.

However, when I looked inside
I saw that the pews are still in

good shape. I think they are the °
original pews installed when the

church was builtin 1913.

The story lold to me about them
was that a hard-working English
chairwoman saved all her clean-
ing money to help buy the church
pews.

I also saw many old hymn
bocks and bibles sitting on
shelves.

The pulpit is also still inside,
with a nice rail and plaque in
memory -of a dedicated: Anglican
person who once lived here still
onit.

A steeple is still standing out.
side with the church bells that
people may remember ringing in
the valley long ago, although it is
looking a bit deteriorated.

Many people in Terrace still
hold fond memories for this little
church, making some of us
wonder what we should do about
it.

Would it be worth trying to

have il restored? Maybe you can
help us decide.

I would Hike to tell you about a
couple who returned to Terrace in
1992 to find this little church.

Mr, and Mrs. W,.J. Gardner
were married in the little
Anglican church in May 19,
1930.

Both Mr. Gardner and his wife
Florence were working at Pacific
at the time.

When they decided to get
married, they took the train to
Terrace, neither one having any
family here.

They went lo the little Anglican
church up on the hill where they
talked to Reverend Robinson
and his wife.

There they were married by
Rev. Robinson.

Mrs, Robinson had found
some lace for Mrs. Gardner’s
head and some flowers for her to
cary, ;

Their witnesses were’ Mrs.
Brooks and Mrs, Grieg, both
old-timers of Terrace, and Ted
Hopan from Pacific who had

THE GARDNERS were married in the old Anglican church on

Facts about KCP

The $1,3-billion Kemano Completion Project, half built when Alcan

public review by the B.C. Utilities Commission, This series answers

as

B.C. Utilities Commission technical. hearings into KCP.

Pat Chamut, B.C. Regional District Director for the DFO, told commissioners
that he saw greater certainty for fish protection in the long term program that.
emerged from the Settlement Agreement than i in the flow regime alone that’;

his. department had been seeking before the Agreement was signed. .

_ The DFO had called for increased flows from the existing spillway as’ sthe.
single measure to protect salmon in the Nechako, Under the 1987: Settlement

Agreement, the Department agreed instead to work with the -Province’

Alcan to implement a program of joint monitoring and habitat management in
conjunction with modifications to the project’ s design. (The Nechako

Fisheries Conservation Program, now in its seventh year of operation,

og -improvement in the "total gas pressure" component of waler quali
