PWB employee celebrates golden anniversary

PRINCE GEORGE — Quite the buzz at the Courtyard Marriott Prince George over the weekend as Pacific Western Brewing celebrated a long-serving employee.

Close to 100 employees and some local dignitaries – including MP Todd Doherty, MLA Shirley Bond and Mayor Lyn Hall – celebrated Brewery Manager Tom Leboe’s 50 years of service.

Raised in McBride, Leboe began his career “unintentionally” at the brewery in 1969.

Leboe says he was in Prince George visiting a brewery employee who offered him a job. Though he wasn’t looking for employment he accepted the offer and the rest is history.

He said he was “overwhelmed” and “honoured” to be recognized.
