FRASER RIVER HALL OF FAME
2024 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES – Catherwood Towing Ltd.
In 1991, the Fraser River Discovery Centre Society established the Fraser River Hall of Fame to recognize and honour individuals or organizations that have made significant and noteworthy contributions to the health and sustainability of the Fraser River, its culture, people, industry and environment.

CTL have been providing comprehensive tug and barge services for general freight, log boom towing, booming, marine construction equipment towing and tending, custom tug and towing services, and boom storage.
