Rivers marks centennial with torch parade and new gate
In 1967 Rivers celebrated Canada's centennial with a January torch light parade. Thomas Seens became general chairman of the centennial committee. A south entrance gate added to Rivers fairgrounds in July 1967 featured precast cement slabs with tools and living motifs designed by Joe Plaseski. Builders included George Jelliff and Bill Irvine. the gate was raised by local workers from Plyweb Ltd and the town works department. Plans to convert the old 240 Main Street telephone office into a museum were discussed by the Rivers Pioneer Club in 1966. A 1976 Rivers Food advertisement offered Black Diamond cheese and fresh ground beef at 51.19 and 0.96 per pound respectively.
