Fire Protection Area trustees, members of (he public and the firefighters themselves, turned out April 5 for the official opening of the new fire nail, off Sinclair Bay Road. The building was started in July 1974, an- is now almost complete. ' Trustee Ed Wiggins told The Times that the project would be completed within five per cent of the estimated $30,000 construction ^ cost. 1 He said that many local firms and in- j dividuals had donated materials or time to ttie project. Gaylord Merkle, chairman of the Pender Harbour Fire Protection Area board of trustees, officially opened the hall by handing over the key to fire chief Larry Clayton. Merkle presented a plaque to Rod Webb, volunteer supervisor of the construction project, for his efforts. Wiggins said the next step would be the purchase of a new fire engine for the department. A full report on the project will appear next week in Jock Bachop's Happenings Around the Harbour column. 6A *��s X *
