Podcast
Welcome to our podcast, stories of Filberg. This episode is an interview with Melanie Whittall, the youngest granddaughter of Robert Filberg. Robert Filberg worked his way to becoming the president of the Comox Logging and Railway Company, and under his leadership, the company expanded greatly. After his passing, he bequeathed his nine-acre property and the Lodge overlooking Comox Harbour to the Vancouver Foundation. Not wanting to see the property develop into housing, the Town of Comox petitioned the Vancouver Foundation for ownership. In 1979, the Lodge became the property of the Town of Comox and later became a Municipal Heritage site that everyone can still enjoy today.
We hope you enjoy hearing Melanie Whittall’s stories and her experiences growing up and spending her Summers with her grandpa Bob on the Filberg property.
