    Biographical history

    The Lower Fraser River Crossing Improvement Association was organized under the Societies Act in 1948. The first directors of the association were Paul Dirks, George Massey, Clarence F. Taylor, Grover Erickson, and W.B. Knickerbrocker. The objects of the association were to improve the crossing facilities of the lower Fraser River at Ladner, to procure better ferry service from Ladner to Richmond, and to stimulate interest in and to promote a bridge or tunnel crossing of the lower Fraser River. Membership was extended to any one interested in the objectives of the association. An annual banquet was held as a promotional activity. The association was disbanded in 1960.

    Custodial history

    Records were in the custody of James Coulter, the association's secretary for 6 years.

    Scope and content

    The fonds consists of minutes of meetings (1948-1960), constitution and by-laws, membership lists, financial records, correspondence, reference material, plans for the Deas Island Tunnel Cairn, agendas, announcements, programs, and a speech given by George Massey in 1948 ("Why the Lower Fraser River Crossing Improvement Association was formed").
