My Grandfather's family moved from Manitoba to Ladysmith in 1897. He enlisted in WW1 from there. I grew up in Port Alberni a block away from the old Barclay Hotel, when the Tidal Wave hit in 1964. We lived on the 3rd floor apt building & had rowboat going by. We were invited to higher ground by the Indo Community. River Road was a disaster area and took a week or so clean up. Just going through my family's history and my GGGrandfather Captain James Douglas Warren opened up the Trade Routes around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii in 1858. He married my Grandmother Tossimitsa Edenshaw a Chief's daughter from there. Tutsumutsa aka Mary Warren William's lived to be the oldest native to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104. My Aunt Sarah Warren was a Matriarch of the Songhess. She was the 1st person to win back the Right's for The Traditional Mask Dance in 1950. Also the 1st person in Canada to have open heart surgery in 1960.
