Albert, in his early years, was involved in Scouts Canada and received the Queens Scout award. Albert was committed and dedicated to the East End Community Club and with his fathers guidance was a key contributor to building the foundation that still is enjoyed by many today. Albert started work as an apprentice with CNR in 1953 retiring as a Painter in 1992 in the Transcona Shops.
