While dating from 1956, the George Dickie Substation was built in a well established urban neighbourhood. Here the British Columbia Electric Company continued to its tradition of erecting a substation building.
Within a decade the Province of British Columbia nationalized the BC Electric Company and rebranded it as BC Hydro. It is rare today that they will construct a substation building. Instead, they leave the equipment exposed to the elements.
