Foreman is a community just northeast of Prince George on the southeast side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia.

[10] George Hardie, a Foley, Welch and Stewart superintendent, had a clearing contract that included Foreman at its eastern extremity.

[12] One year later, a Canadian National Telegraphs employee suffered a crushed leg and hip injuries when a railway speeder struck him.

[13] Built in 1914, the standard-design Plan 100‐152 (Bohi's Type E)[14][15] station building primarily accommodated the section crew.

The company agreed to most of the union demands, but by season end, it had failed to address the abysmal living conditions.

[50] Children lighting a piece of fuse caused a forest fire at Foreman, one of the many raging in the district that summer.

[55] That year, Caine began building a new mill on the Nechako River, at the western end of the Prince George rail yard,[56] but postponed construction when the work was half complete.

[65] John Porter (1860–1934)[66][67] built the original cabin in the vicinity in 1909, one of the six earliest settlers to take up preemptions in the entire Fort George area.

[70] In 1912, Antonio (Tony) Denicola (1887–1947),[71][72][73] who worked on the GTP construction, bought a small holding about 0.75 miles (1.21 km) from the station location.

[75] In 1922, Baron Byng, the governor general, decorated Tony with a military medal for his World War I service,[76] where he was wounded at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

[87] For his World War II service, Armand was awarded France's National Order of the Legion of Honour.

[92] Albert, who conducted a mixed farm,[93] had a White Leghorn hen that laid an egg eight inches in circumference and weighed eight ounces.

[95] A casual employee at the federal experimental farm while at university,[96] Jim joined the agricultural research station on graduation.

[69] Daughter Diane (1945–64) from his first marriage, the thirteenth victim in the Prince George polio outbreak of 1960,[111] died a few years later of multiple sclerosis (MS).

[126] Located in a field where Foreman Road almost forms a tangent with the bend in the Fraser, the Atco-style one-roomed singlewide structure had gas lighting and indoor plumbing.

[132] In 1975, Wilhelm (Bill) Kupper (1913–2008),[133] a Foreman Road farmer, threatened to cut off the area's water supply and to block the laying of municipal sewer pipes across his land to force the settlement of a six-year dispute with the Blackburn Improvement District.

The legal suit concerned a well drilled on his property that serviced the airport, the federal experimental farm, two schools and 200 homes.

When significant solid waste accumulated, the sludge was trucked to the accompanying lagoons/landfill site about two kilometres (1.2 mi) due east of the Foreman train station, but accessible only via Refuse Road off Shelley Road N.[137] The sewage ponds also became a disposal location for septic tank sludge.

[143] On at least one occasion, leaking tanker trucks, accessing the Blackburn treatment plant, blanketed Foreman Road with raw sewage.

[152][153] When a small plane lost power on approaching Prince George in 1976, it finished 30 feet up trees on Foreman Road.

[2] On the latter occasion, the Yellowhead Road and Bridge 24-hour ferrying service provided the only access to the cut off area experiencing flooded basements.

[155] Subsequently, as a precaution in vulnerable years, residents installed sandbags prior to the river peaking and remained under evacuation alert.

[160] Weeks earlier, arsonists destroyed the Bartkowski barn, but the responding firefighting crew took no action because it was beyond the city boundary.

[43] In a Depression-era relief project, W. Howieson (see #HowiesonFam) led an eight-man crew in extending Foreman Road northward.

[164] The road was not well maintained and in the 1960s the school bus driver could not safely negotiate the railway crossing and its adjacent hill.
