By Shirley Blackstaff
If it wasn’t enough to refurbish Ladysmith’s steam Locomotive #11 and track and the rare Humdirgen off-loader, which was designed and built in the Machine Shop, Ladysmith & District Historical Society’s (LDHS) volunteers tackled the box car located at the original Comox Logging & Railway Company site.
Alex Garvin, one of the Industrial Heritage Preservation volunteers, fondly known as the “wood butcher” and who has taken the lead on all of our woodwork projects, got his measuring tape out and started figuring out what wood was needed. Canadian Bavarian Millwork and Lumber donated the specialty-cut boards.
Also, we were fortunate to be able to purchase some original-style bolts and receive some donations of other supplies.
All of our crew (Alex Garvin, Bob Taylor, Alex Stuart, Arne Bogwald, Bill Drysdale, Floyd South, Harry Blackstaff, Henry Schneider, Mike Kennedy, Jim Williams, Ed Heyes and Quentin Goodbody) helped with the various aspect of restoration: gathering the materials, scraping, sanding, undercoat painting, welding, making repairs, cutting boards to fit, hammering them into place, bolting on boards, washing off graffiti and cleaning the interior.
Before the weather got too rainy and damp, along with the help of other volunteers, Alex Stuart got the box car sanded and applied undercoat paint. The final coat of box car red will be sprayed on in the summer.
The interior of the boxcar is being transformed into a “Discovery Box Car” on February 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the BC Heritage event festivities at the waterfront.

Coldest Night of the Year
2020-02-22 17:00 - 19:00 UTC
Coldest Night of the Year. We walk again on Feb. 22, 2020!

The Coldest Night of the Year is a moment when tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home and shine a light of welcome and inclusion.
Together, we’re collecting donations that fund critical services at the LRCA; a local charity partner who serves and supports vulnerable families and individuals in our CNOY community.

We walk through the cold and dark on February 22, 2020 to declare our concern for people who have no home, and take shelter in nooks and crannies.
We walk for those whose days are a battle to house and feed their families, and whose nights are filled with fear and frustration.
We walk for those driven from home by violence and abuse. And we walk for people overwhelmed by isolation, guilt and despair.
We walk humbly, realizing that anyone can lose their footing and then lose everything else.

Each step we take brings someone closer to safety, health and home, as together, we raise funds for organizations whose commitment and work transforms peoples’ lives.
You don’t have to give hundreds or thousands of dollars. Any donation amount helps those who need it. It’s scary, lonely, and it’s Cold Out There.
Start a team or join us as we walk for the homeless, hungry, and hurting in our community.
Join us: http://walk.w-ith.me/LRCA
Start your own team: https://cnoy.org/home
This year, teams who sign up from South of Herd Rd, will raise funds that also benefit The Cowichan Women Against Violence Society.
