CASSIS There is a place for you here in our town and we welcome you to it. The town is yours. The rest, in a way, is up to you. The fact is it takes a little time for people to get to know each other. Everybody is a little different. You’ve been around. You know the score. We want you to know that this welcome is not just from the company. It’s from all of us at Cassiar who have also been around, and we know what it means to come to a strange place. It can be a bit bewildering at first. Most of us have been through it. We, like you, have had to search out new companions — meet new people. We want you to know that a lot of us here are ready to help you become part of our town, and become our friends. Getting to know a place is never easy. That is why we prepared this booklet. Its sole purpose is to give you an idea what goes on around here — provide a little flavour of the place. And a lot of Cassiar- ites pitched in and helped produce it. They helped the photographer take the pictures and helped the writer get his facts straight — and that’s never easy. They helped with the lights, moved their trucks to catch the sun, sent their kids out to be models, and opened the doors to their homes. They did this because it gave them a chance to help newcomers get to know Cassiar and the general lay of the land. We are happy to see you here. Let us all know who you are. We’d like to shake your hand. And that means a lot more than a flock of words. Good luck. From all of us at Cassiar.
