Welch Company Honoured
Parks Canada is celebrating the historical significance of Thunder Bay's railroad contracting firm, Welch Company Limited. Spokesperson Nancy Saunders says a plaque will be placed outside the Algoma Street Italian Cultural Centre. The plaque tells the story of the Welch Company founders the Veltri brothers who played a big role in getting Italians to immigrate to Canada.
