Wilmer resident and renowned photographer/mountaineer Pat Morrow had a brief encounter in 1972 with Canadas freshly elected prime minister when Justin Trudeau was just a tot in his mothers arms. Mr. Morrow was working as a teenage photography intern for the Calgary Herald at the time, and was assigned to take a shot of then prime-minister Pierre Trudeau with his wife, Margaret, and young son, Justin, as they disembarked from a trans-Canada train ride in Calgary on their way to a mountaineering holiday in the Bugaboos. (According to Mr. Morrow, Hans Gmoser and Leo Grillmair guided Pierre Trudeau on several climbs in the Purcells and Rockies in the early 70s.) Much thanks to Mr. Morrow for sharing this iconic photo with the Columbia Valley. Photo courtesy of Pat Morrow
