Many years greeted one another,
exchanging stories and reminis-
cences, New generations were
introduced and exclaimed over.
The years slipped by in moments.

On Nov. 11, 1941, Lorraine,
the daughter of Leila and Edward
T. Kenney (later the B.C. Minister
of Forests), and Lloyd, son of May
and Bruce Johnstone, pioneer
developers of the Lakelse Lake
Hot Springs, were married by Rev.
Rowland in the United Church on
Lakelse Avenue, attended by Dud-
ley Little as best man and Mar-
garet Fulton, sister of the bride, as
bridesmaid. Ushers were Stan
Brooks, uncle of the bride, and
Ben Agar, good friend of the
groom. During the ceremony a
duet, “‘O Perfect Love”, was sung
by Marie Piffer and Onalee
Kirkaldy.

“The day was chosen for sever-
al very practical reasons,” said
Lorraine, “chiefly because it was
the day that my sister could come
and that the train connected with
Prince Rupert.”

_ After joining up in 1942, Lloyd
spent the next three years in vari-
ous postings in eastern Canada

and finally Vancouver before |

When Canadians
~_work together we can,
take on the world and win.

"To succeed in today's world,

Canadians must be able to compete

because our jobs directly depend
upon it. Our competitive edge will

* seciire the prosperity we want for

ourselves and our children. Prosper-
ity that’s measured not only by pro-
ductivity but by better jobs, greater
opportunities for young Canadians,

support for health, social and senior
citizen programs - and more.

We can achieve it by investing in
our own abilities and being a country
that says... yes we can.

Yes we can.
We've got the proof.

A look at some of Canada’s success
stories proves it can be done... with
real benefits for individuals, the
communities they live in and for
Canadian industry.

Hundreds of Canadian companies
are achieving remarkable internation-
al success. They're creating jobs,
developing new skills and opportuni-
ties for thousands of Canadians and
creating markets around the world
for Canadian products.

Yes we can. _
We've got the ability to
build on our successes.

We havea history of working in
co-operation with others for world
class achievements in peacekeeping,
medicine and space exploration. _
Now, with business, labour, govern-
ments, academic and social groups
working together, we can achieve

prosperity through international
competitiveness. But there is one
more critical factor: Canada’s ulti-
mate potential depends on the com-
mitment of individual Canadians.

Yes we can.
We've got the people.

It’s time now to unite around our
greatest economic challenge yet...
preparing for a prosperous future.
As individuals, there’s a lot we can
do. Put yourself in the picture
through further education or skills

development programs.
As parents, we can encourage our

| | children to stay in school longer and

start career planning activities sooner.
As employers, we can think of
training asa business investment and
encourage a work environment
where excellence and a commitment
to learning are celebrated. Finally, as

fH Canadians, we can become a positive

part of the process through involve-
ment in the consultations on our
economic future.

Yes, we can.
