It provided for the combining of the harbours of Port Arthur and Fort William into one unit to be known as the LAKEHEAD HARBOUR. It established new harbour limits, which, incidentally, take in considerably more shoreline than was originally included in the two units, and provides for future expansion. The Lakehead is the true heart of Canada. If a line is drawn across the Dominion through the southern region ,e relatively large area from St. John's, Newfoundland to the west of Vancouver Island, its mid-point lies almost exactly at the Twin s of Fort William and Port Arthur. Its position at the head of a water system establishes it as a meeting point between East and t. The Lakehead has lorig been world famous for its grain-handling .bilities and the potentialities offered by the new Seaway were quickly ;een by the Federal Government. It was decided that existing grain lling facilities would be augmented at the earliest possible opportunity 1e addition of ·substantial package freight handling facilities. Econo) agreed that the increasing demands of the growing western popula.coupled with the fact that the deepening to Seaway depth of the 1ecting channels between the Great Lakes and the Sea would add to importance of the Lakehead as a great international Lakes and Port. When construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway finally got under it was natural that the people of the Lakehead and that area stretchwest to Alberta began to consider the effect of the Seaway on their t0my. In. 1957 the Federal Government was requested to provide 1p-to-date terminal for berthing ocean going vessels and for handling ort and export trade. In this initial stage a great deal of credit must o the Canadian Lakehead Port Association consisting of the Provinces ~anitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and the Cities of Port Arthur Fort William for directing the attention of the Federal Government he necessity of providing modern facilities here. The Federal Government were quick to foresee the necessity of 5.ed administration of the important harbours of Port Arthur and t William at the Canadian head of the Seaway. In 19 58 an act was ;ed to incorporate the Lakehead Harbour Commissioners. This act ,, The Act gives the Commissioners wide powers. They have jurisdiction within the harbour limits over harbour-front lands, not including government property except when authorized by Order-in-Council, or private property, except as provided for in the act. The Commissioners may purchase, expropriate, acquire and hold, lease or sell buildings or property, real or personal, within the harbour required for development, improvement, maintenance and protection of the harbour. The Commissioners will have regulation and control over the use of harbour property. They will have power to construct harbour facilities and sell or lease same. The admhlistration of the Keefer Lakehead Terminal has also been entrusted to their care. They may construct or lease railway facilities on harbour lands. All navigation in the harbour is under Commission control and to this end the Commissioners have prepared a comprehensive set of bylaws and general information regarding the control and operation of the harbour, also schedules of port charges which were enacted by Order-inCouncil P.C. 1960-53, dated January 14, 1960. When it was finally decided to augment the existing waterbourne freight handling facilities at the Lakehead the Federal Government in I 9 5 8 appointed Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners as Consulting Engineers to recommend and design facilities not only for ocean-going vessels but also for lake vessels carrying package freight. The first problem was the selection of a site for the new Terminal. A vacant area of land and foreshore existed between the two cities but was known to have difficult foundation conditions. Other sites with much better foundations were considered-notably along the south shore of the Mission River-but, in the end, the Consulting Engineers decided to face the engineering problems of the inter-city site because of its paramount advantages from the aspect of shipping and rail access. This site was provided by the City of Port Arthur. It embraces approximately 180 �and is adequate for docks, buildings, freight storage areas, access ,, parking areas, rail connections and marshalling yard included in aitial project. Finally, the whole area has ample room for expansion a substantial acreage for warehousing and appropriate industries. The area of the chosen site consisted of large deposits of silty sand ying equally large deposits of sensitive varied clay to a total depth of 130 feet. Without going into details of the design, it may be said such soil conditions posed considerable problems in the design of the wharf and the foundations for the buildings. The Consulting Engineers submitted their report early in 19 59 construction began in July of that year. INTERIOR VIEW OF SHED AT TERMINAL --:: --- DESIGN OF TERMINAL Keefer Lakehead Harbour Terminal \ LOCATION 4 PLAN . One of the most difficult factors to appraise at the outset was the probable effect of the St. Lawrence Seaway. How many ocean-goin.g freighters would, in fact, come all the way to the Lakehead and what tonnage of cargo would they bring? What increase in tonnage carried by lake freighters would there be when larger vessels could operate all the way from Montreal? In the end it was decided that the initial Terminal should consist of one berth primarily for ocean-going freighters and two berths primarily for lake freighters. The berthage provided for lake freighters is considerable less than the existing berthage provided at the old terminals operated by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways at the Lakehead but it is expected to be adequate for a number of years in view of the smaller number of larger ships and the greater efficiency of operation at the new Terminal. �HANDLINGCAPACITY l te O>nsulting Engineer for Terminal, Sir Alexander and Partners, in their represented to the Governin February 19 59 made a ist of the package freight , handled in. future years. ~ established that the average annual tonnage of package freight .ed through the existing Lakehead facilities for the eight years to 19 5 7 inclusive was: Westbound ·····················-······· Eastbound ................................ 392,000 short tons 239,000 short tons 631,000 total It was estimated that the effect of the Seaway and the natural )pment of the Western provin~es might increase these tonnages by to the following: Westbound ·······-··-···--··-········· Eastbound ............................... . 7301,000 short tons 615,000 short tons 1,345,000 total These figures were arrived at by adding to the previous eight-year ~e handlings the estimated tonnage which the railways would lose ~ and lake freighters with the St. Lawrence Seaway completed •pen to navigation on a 2 7 foot draft basis. After establishing these figures, an annual increment of 3% comI per annum, was added to provide for the normal rate of increase lckage freight handled through the Lakehead Harbour. The present nal has therefore been designed to meet the anticipated conditions :able to 1970. The Terminal as now constructed includes the following facilities: ( 1) One spacious transit shed for lake freighter service with a ,re area of 120,000 sq. ft., approximately 900 ft. in length x 13 5 ide-clear span steel trusses. ( 2) One transit shed for ocean freighter service with a storage area of 60,000 sq. ft., 450 feet in length x 135 ft. wide-clear span without interior columns. ( 3) Complete site enclosing steel revetments. ( 4) Concrete aprons 6 5 feet wide extending full length of both ocean and lake freighter berths. ( 5) Track loading platforms with roof cover to accommodate 96 freight cars at the lake freighter transit shed and 20 cars at the ocean freighter shecl. ( 6) Two spacious truck loading sheds for road transports to accommodate forty trucks loading simultaneously. ( 7) Adequate paved parking areas for motor vehicles in transit. ( 8) Office accommodation in sheds for auxiliary services, including Governmental authorities, stevedoring firms, vessel agencies, etc., as well as Harbour Commission employees. ( 9) Railroad marshalling yards to accommodate 216 cars with rail connections to both CNR and CPR. ( 10) Paved access roads and viaduct over railway yards and McIntyre River to provide truck route to Trans-Canada Highway and both cities. ( 11) Terminal Entrance Building to accommodate the Harbour Commission executives and staff.

FORT WILLIAM GIRLS' PIPE BAND PORT ARTHUR GIRLS' PIPE BAND H. M. C. GRIFFON BAND s. R Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources �J CONSTRUCT/ON The area on which the Terminal is built lies well beyond the original shoreline and the land behind it is bounded on the other three sides by two rivers and extensive rail yards. The first phase of the work was, therefore, to provide access to the site and to the water's edge. This was followed by constructing a pattern of gravel causeways forming lagoons into which sand from the dredging operations in the adjacent harbour was pumped to reclaim the Terminal area. Construction of the wharfs was carried out concurrently with the latter stages of the dredging and reclamation. Originally, a sheet-pile bulkhead type of wharf had been envisaged but detailed studies of the soil strata indicated that it would have to be abandoned in favour of an open concrete deck supported on bearing piles. The engineers were thus faced with designing a type of bearing pile which would carry the required load in the silty sand above the clay. After a number of driving and loading tests, a pile was selected consisting of a steel stem with the lower portion widened out by bolting on two 12" x 12" timbers to give added bearing capacity to each pile. The largest stage of the work was the construction of all the buildings with their foundations and services. The contract for this work of nearly $4,000,000 was started in January, 1961, and virtually completed eleven months later. The shed structures are supported on friction piles driven into the silty sand. The shed floors rest on gravel fill so as to reduce the settlement that would have occurred if the fine silty sand dredged from the lake bed had been used exclusively. Although temporary access to the site had been provided from the north and south across the McIntyre and Neebing Rivers, it was decided that permanent access to the Terminal should be from the west across the railway yards. This overpass, which crosses twenty rail tracks and the McIntyre River, consists of three central spans of steel girders over the tracks and approach spans of pre-stressed concrete beams. The central spans were designed for rapid erection and were, in fact, erected without any interruption to rail movement below. The construction of the Terminal involved a peak labour force on site of 3 8 5 and gave indirect employment to many other local workers through the numerous local sub-contractors and suppliers. The consensus of opinion of Port authorities who have seen our facilities is that the Keefer Lakehead Terminal design is unparalleled at any Port in Canada. 1 1 �I OVERPASS SPANNING TWENTY MILROAD TRACKS AND THE McINTYRE RIVER PROVIDING ELLENT ACCESS TO THE NEW TERMINAL VIEW - EARLY JUNE 1962 AERIAL VIEW OF THE CITY OF FORT WILLIAM GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SEPTEMBER 1960 DREDGING OPERATIONS SEPTEMBER 1960 �Keefer Lakehead Terminal CHAIRMAN ---------------- R.

Those with intelligence, enthusiasm, wit and a desire to serve are well equipped to meet the challenge of modern library service. At the end of each day, they experience a tremendous sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Book Or People Oriented? In Library work, people come first. The needs of the Library patrons are paramount. This does not mean Library Technologists are not book lovers and do not appreciate the immense value of the book to mankind. They are also trained to use all other types of print and non-print materials whether periodicals, motion pictures, audiotapes or videotapes. Are Libraries Out-Of-Date? Library personnel must not only keep abreast with the times -but must be alert to new developments and fields of study. They must anticipate the future needs of their cl ientele. Therefore, Technologists must be familiar with all the latest equipment and methods used in the transmission of information through the media.
