Volunteer Spotlight

Meet volunteer Aedan Smyth, a grade 12 student at Brookswood Secondary School. Asked about his favourite artifact in the CNR freight room, he grabbed the stumping powder box. This was vital to railways and farmers to hasten the removal of trees and stumps. Adan has a keen interest in railway history and his plans include pursuing a history degree at Simon Fraser University. We wish him well and thank him for volunteering at the Fort Langley heritage CNR Station. We're always eager to welcome new volunteers. Find out more HERE.
