Local photographer Darryl Schwanke snapped this shot a decade ago, standing where Sirocco is today.

Squamish photographer Brian Aikens took this Howe Sound shot in 1992. You can still see the Woodfibre pulp mill and the passenger ship Prince George moored at Britannia Beach. The vessel was built in 1947 for the Canadian National Steamship Company and travelled the route from Vancouver to Alaska. It was sold in 1976 for use as a floating restaurant and then had several owners until October 1995, when it caught fire at Britannia Beach, where it had been sitting for some time.

We have been digging into our photo archives from the 1990s.

Winter in Squamish is pretty special, as these photos by local photographer Ashlie Baker show.

Beverly, Ralph and their children lived in many areas of the province from the B.C. Interior, Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, to the Pacific Northwest.

She completed her nursing degree at St. Paul’s Hospital and worked as a Public Health Nurse in Squamish, delivering health care to remote populations in the area by train. Here she met and married her first husband, Les Walton, in 1955.

At the age of 17, he started at Woodfibre and worked there until his retirement.
