Harvey Dion

Born in Gravelbourg Saskatchewan on July 28, 1920. Harvey was raised in Saskatchewan before moving to Port Alberni with his new bride Gibby, in 1946, where he was told there were plenty of job opportunities. He began working for MacMillian Bloedel at the Alberni Pacific Div. He soon transitioned into the office and became the Timekeeper for the Division, a position he held until his retirement in 1982.

Harvey & Gibby raised five lovely daughters. Together they spent many happy hours curling, which was their favorite pastime. After his retirement, Harvey took classes in stained glass and created many beautiful pieces, which he took great pleasure in gifting to family and friends.
