Photo: A year of anniversaries for CBC

Jonah Kelly, who retired from CBC North in 1997 after a 31-year career, displays a tee shirt marking the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.’s 75th anniversary. The year 2011 also marks the 50th anniversary of CBC’s eastern Arctic radio service, which began Feb. 6, 1961 when the CFFB radio station first signed on from the old T-1 building, located at what is now Iqaluit’s Four Corners intersection on a lot now occupied by the Igluvut building. To celebrate their 50 years of service to the people of the eastern Arctic, staff at CBC Iqaluit held an open house Oct. 1. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
