Harry Sanders, was bit of a legend about Merritt. We remember him as hosting the social credit party at his home in lower Nicola for their AGM’s. But Harry was a contractor with equipment. Lots of male sons. And a penchant for opportunities. One of them he saw at one point was an ability to bridge a small Creek or area and a temporary but more permanent way that would be easy in and easy out without much damage so as to protect the environment and also to expedite doing work in the forests and streams.
Innovation
By cutting apart large pieces of pipeline pipe, and that was in surplus. He managed to make a small portable bridge, he could cross a stream with a similarly to the Roman concept of using Stone arches for their bridging. The value of these is self-evident.
So I don’t know how many prototypes he made but this one was in the industrial area sitting for numbers of years. So I took a picture of it as I went by knowing Harry or more to the point I knew his sons. I know more of Harry than I did him.
But darn and be gosh if he didn’t, long past his departure from this life. The legacy in that piece was laying. There and now seems to have been revived as some very nice advertising is online about enviro bridge and some of them are being sold and being manufactured again here in Merritt British Columbia.
