- History / Biographical
- Thorvald Einor Paulsen was born in Laso, Denmark on July 7, 1903, and immigrated to Canada in 1926. He worked on the railroad and at an Alberta creamery before moving to British Columbia in 1934, where he worked for Interior Creameries in Prince George. The company sent him to Telkwa in 1938 to build and manage a creamery there, which he did until 1942 when he went to Williams Lake to build another. In 1947, Paulsen and his family returned to the Bulkley Valley and purchased the Telkwa Creamery, which he operated for the next 29 years. Paulsen closed the creamery in 1969. Paulsen passed away March 26, 1988.
