Description
Thinking Outside the Box: 35 Years in Kitimat and Terrace, Working for Alcan, Raising a Family, and Living the Good Life This memoir tells the story of a life "thinking outside the box." It follows Alan McGowan's journey from his first days working at an aluminum smelter in the wilderness to his decades-long career with the company. With a sharp eye for detail, McGowan writes about the people who arrived in Kitimat in 1954, including those who had fought on different sides in the Second World War and those who were on the run from trouble. McGowan's own experiences at Alcan are woven throughout the story, including his inventions, daring feats of driving in the North, and his work in all areas of the plant. He also shares stories about the value and danger of thinking outside the box, whether that meant setting up a cooperative bus line or working with colleagues to improve smelting efficiency. With 42 photographs and drawings, this book offers a unique glimpse into life in Kitimat and Terrace during a pivotal period in Canadian history.
