Because our reception was better for channels out of Washington State, as children, we spent far less time tuned into the CBC.

The most significant event I remember watching on the CBC, when I was was small, was the blasting of Ripple Rock. It was really impressive, although, I'm really glad they used dynamite instead of the nuclear bomb, as originally intended, to remove the navigation hazard. I've often wondered how many salmon and killer whales were found floating in Seymour Narrows and surrounding waters after the blast. They didn't show that. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history.
