B14 Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 1, 1991

Who is...
Campbell

by Betty Barton ,

Campbell Stewart is the owner of
A&W in Terrace, a father, an ex-
school teacher, a skier and a
windsurfer.

Campbell was born in a small off
town in Peru, where his father
Norm was an engineer for Esso.
Campbell attended school there
and lived with his mother and
father and sister Lynne until he
was 14. He completed his high
school years in Ontario and then
went on to the University of Brit-
ish Columbia and Simon Fraser
University. During the summers,
he mined and worked in commer-
cial fishing, and he eventually
graduated from university with a
teaching degree.

He taught in Terrace for 10
years, three at Thornhill Junior
Secondary and seven at Caledonia.
"T loved teaching and the students.
It was a wonderful experience and
I feel privileged to have had the
opportunity to teach. I had put
forward my best efforts in teaching
and felt it was the right time to
move on. I’ve always enjoyed
change," he reflects.

In the spring of 1987, Campbell
Stewart heard of a number of
business opportunities. He began
investigating. A&W excited him
the most after he had visited their
head offices and talked with their
executives. "It was most in line
with what I wanted", he explains.
In September 1988, he bought the
A&W in the Skeena Mall, "I’ve
never regretted it. I feel good
about the business. The larger
corporate structure and family are
good."

Campbell is proud of his staff of
34. "The effort we're making is
only possible because of local
resources and the assistance of our
staff.” His new restaurant on Keith
Ave., opening today, will add
another, 50 employees. Although
the restaurant is stylistically differ-
ent, Campbell feels people will
recognize some ‘signature’ fea-
tures, He is proud that it is a very
modem facility with up-to-date
equipment, "so we can do what we
do as well as it can be done."

Campbell credits his new facility
to developers Emil Wirtl and Epp
Talstra, saying, "They were a
pleasure to work with". Emil Wirtl
was also the builder of the project.

FACT: In 1987, slash-burning
released about 10 million
tonnes of carbon dioxide in-
to our atmosphere. That
same year, the burning of
fossil fuels released 32
million tonnes. “If prescrib-
ad burning were not carried
out following logging,
similar amounts of carbon
dioxide would probably be
released from the decom-
position of the slash and Ilt-
ter over a longer period of
time.” (source: Forestry

‘feels fortunate to have his parents

"This new facility will offer
another alternative to other dining
facilities in Terrace and be open
longer hours. People are enthusi-
astic about the location, too," says
Campbell. "The A&W in the
Skeena Mall is an integral part of
that complex and our hours there
are compatible with it."

When Campbell isn’t working,
he enjoys skiing in the winter, "but
my passion in terms of sports is —
windsurfing." ,
“Campbell feels blessed with his
wife Niki (Barton) and his children
David (5) and. Anne (3), with

another one on the way. He also

‘in this neck of the woods". His
mother and father arrived in Ter-
race two years ago from
Vancouver. They’ve made their
home at Lakelse Lake. "I’m really
proud of them", he concludes.

Camphell Stewart: I've always enjoyed change.
