2 -- General A-Z, C- The Crucils, 1885-1991, Page 1
Mr.
August Crucil, born in Italy in 1885, came to Canada in 1910. He worked
on Vancouver Island in the Nanaimo and Lantzville coal mines until
returning to Italy in 1929 and marrying his childhood friend Christina.
They returned to Vancouver Island where August worked in Chemainus
taking out poles until, in 1934, he started his own logging company.
In 1938 they moved to Sechelt where he continued his successful logging
operations and Mrs. Crucil in 1948 opened Sechelt's first clothing
store. Mr. Crucil also ran the coast's small bus line for a few years.
Sechelt's first bowling alley opened in 1953 was successfully run
by Mrs. Crucil. Mr. Crucil died in 1967 and Mrs. Crucil in 1991, two
hard-working and successfuly early residents of Sechelt. The Crucil
family home still stands beside the Shell Gas Station on Cowrie Street's
north side.
