strike lasted from 1912-1914.
In the meantime, copper mining and
smelting, along with logging, created jobs
in Ladysmith. Logging became a mainstay
after oil became more important than
coal.

strewn around, while also enjoying people
watching.
Strolling along, we noted a clock suspended
high above the sidewalk commemorating
Knight's, a former hardware
and stationery store. It kept accurate time

served as a meeting and appointment

and water fountain are nearby. Then,
an elongated metal memorial stretches

with nails on their soles taught me how
loggers managed to walk on rolly booms;
and how miners' headlamps became
much safer after using batteries instead of
burning oil.
THE FOOD SCENE
On the way back to the marina, after
eating some traditional bangers-and-mash
at the Fox and Hounds Pub, I bought
some provisions at Bouma Meats, an
excellent butcher that also sells seafood
