T-1 Mine in Thompson Manitoba 1950’s 60’s and 70s

The following is the main mine site in Thompson Manitoba. It was owned by INCO Metals. The company actually built the town. It is where my dad worked most of his working years. It is where my uncle Ed worked for a few years before transferring to Pipe mine. My dad’s brother, Harvey and his brother in law, Allen Elliot worked there. My dad called it, “Old Mother”. On some days it would spew sulfur dioxide gas across the town. I was a security guard there in the summers from 1981-1983.
