TERRACE
The Central office in 1969 when I came to town,
was located on the north end of the 3236 Kalum St
old Phone Mart Building, now the Salvation Army thrift store.
Fraser Sutherland did the engineering on the move of this CO,
up to the new GTD5 Switch in the basement of the Primary Center,
or cement prison on the hill.
It is still there today (2006)
Originally the CO was located in the first BC Tel building
on Lakelse Ave, where Wilkinson Business machines,
old Cannon building is, down from the old Police Station.
Bill Reynolds will have to clarify that one,
as he worked there when he started at BC Tel.
It wasn't a SxS Co but an old Cord board I imagine.
Will add that story when I find it.
There were many CO Maintenance men over the years
Will add a few here as I remember them.
