WASTE COLLECTION SCHEDULE
The Baird “Best” tugboats were a fixture on Burrard Inlet from the 1920s to 1974, towing log booms, docking ships, or ferrying passengers. The Inlet froze several times in the 1930s and 1940s,
allowing people to skate across. In this photo, taken in 1948, Bill Baird (on the ice) tells sons Bill Jr. and Bus how to adjust the boom logs strapped to the bow to create an icebreaker.

Stationmaster Charles Howard Gibbon and family pose at the 1882 CPR station, circa 1900. Note the people and dog on the roof. Port Moody was officially named western terminus for the
Canadian Pacific Railway in 1879. By 1884, rumours abounded that a branch line would be built to Coal Harbour or English Bay. This did not sit well with Port Moody investors.

The second Canadian Pacific Railway Station in Port Moody was built in 1908 just north of the former Andrés Wines. On April 10, 1945, a steam engine pulled the Station along the train
tracks to the foot of Queens Street, so it would be located closer to the centre of town. The Station only blocked the double mainline tracks for a day. The structure was moved again in 1978,
by truck, to its current location on Murray Street, where it became the Port Moody Station Museum.
