Page 16 Cassiar Courier July 1987 Cassiar Cafeteria After twenty-two years in operation, the Cassiar cafeteria closed its doors on May 31st. The cafeteria has always occupied the same building, but has shared its space with town administra- tion, the butcher, accommodations and the retail store which at one time was downstairs: Originally it was the employees’ cookhouse. During the very active years it served at least 350 bunkhouse people. At one time there were thirty-two full time employees catering to the needs of the company employees. In its heyday the cafeteria served 2000 meals per day including 300 box lunches! During the 1970’s the cookery (as it was usually called) was a meeting place for employees. Crib and cards were played between meals, and multi cups of coffee consumed. It was a place to plan the week- end cook-outs, to complain about the overtime or to meet the “new gal or guy” in town! SCULPTURED CENTERPIECE FOR FIREMEN'’S BALL As well as daily food service, the cafeteria staff were involved in side catering activities. The Firemens’ Ball, R.C.M.P. Ball and the Children’s Christmas Party, were some of the major yearly events which all of Cassiar will remember! Private functions for government M.L.A.’s and company representatives from all-over the world (Brazil, Malaysia, Russia, Australia, Japan, China and America) were also catered by the cafeteria staff. The cafeteria opened its doors to the public in 1968 and went to full service and take-out service in 1985. The excellent standards maintained over the years in food service can be attested to by the fact that those in charge came well qualified for the job. The first cook must have attended a recognized catering college, and been a sous chef - chef de varte for at least NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR SPORT IN B.C.
