Historic photo album returned to family

An old family photo album containing pictures and memorabilia from the years 1800 to 1993 has been returned to the family who were thrilled to have it back.

The photo album was turned into the Powell River RCMP on March 7, 2024 and details were released to the media. A few days later, a member of the family contacted police to claim the album.

The family member was very excited and commented, I’m so happy to have this. Now I can continue to work on my family genealogy.

The family member saw the news release on Facebook after it was shared by a member of the community. Powell River RCMP would like to thank the media and the public for their assistance in returning the album to its proper home.
