During the seventy years of the Bralorne Mine building a company town, an almost city-like existence developed as well. The depression years seemed to have little effect on the lives of the children, teenagers, working adults and retirees. Bralorne was the place to be, when in contrast, the rest of the country was facing the depression. With the onset of the war and loss of lives in the workforce, there was still the ability to pick up and carry on. The fifties and sixties saw the population grow to over 3,500, with a large number going into the work force; mostly in the mining industry. |
