British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority films

  • GR-3354
  • Series
  • 1945-1984

The fonds consists of industrial, engineering, and public relations films created for or by British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority and its predecessors (the British Columbia Electric Company and the British Columbia Power Commission) from 1945 to about 1984. This material includes 164 unique film items in 16 mm film, each containing one or more printing elements such as prints, sound tracks, negative reels, selected out-takes and unedited footage. In some cases, there are no edited prints, only miscellaneous reels of footage.

Most of the BC Electric and BC Hydro films are the work of Vancouver producer Lew M. Parry. The fonds also includes a number of non-Hydro films produced by Parry, as well as a selection of prints and film material relevant to BC which had been circulated through (or stored at) Hydro's film library.

Cheekye-Dunsmuir transmission project : public meetings

The item consists of 17 rolls of unedited film footage. The footage mainly comprises coverage of public meetings held at Madeira Park, B.C., sometime between 1978 and 1980, to discuss the social, economic and environmental impact of the then-proposed Cheekye-Dunsmuir transmission project on the Sunshine Coast. The transmission line, built in 1982-84, was created to supply electrical power to Vancouver Island by linking Cheekye substation near Squamish to Dunsmuir substation near Qualicum, using overhead transmission lines and submarine cables.
