Premier Bill Vander Zalm and dignitaries attend the official opening of the Shikano coal pit at Quintette on August 14 1987. The event included blasting to start the next mining phase, a 12 million project cost, and demonstrations with a Demag Excavator and 170 ton Wabco truck. The visit also covered tours of the nearby Tumbler Ridge golf course and a Dawson Creek stop at the Louisiana Pacific Strandboard plant.
