Today's look back at NRS Aldergrove comes courtesy of the RCN's newsletter The Crowsnest from 1949 and 1950.
CPO Cliff Watt, seen in the lower right photo in image 1, arrived at the station in 1943, and remained there until his retirement in 1953. The family lived in Aldergrove for many years and Cliff was a very active citizen. He became a CGA, was a member of the Aldergrove Fire Department, Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce and the Aldergrove Agricultural Association. Cliff was an integral part of the Township's Utilities Commission, which brought improved water services, sidewalks and streetlights to our town. He also helped organize several baseball tournaments and was a member of the Langley Curling Club.
