My stepdad has lots of old black and white pics from that time period when his parents moved there from Yellowknife.
I think they owned a bakery or two there and on the island.

Florence was the name if that rings a bell.

Your stepdad's name was Florence?

Family last name,I think they were part of Vancouvers mafia.

His mom just died at 98 and she had quite a photo collection along with some of those old wall size maps of old canada before the west was in.

Interesting stuff.
