Did you know….the egg carton was invented by Smithers resident Joseph Coyle? Coyle was living down the road in Aldermere when he overheard an argument between a farmer and hotelier about a delivery of broken eggs. This inspired him to create the egg carton that we all know today.
Did you know….that an American B-36 crashed in the mountains near Hazelton, B.C., forever connecting the Bulkley Valley to Cold War history and the world’s first « broken arrow » incident?
