Lucky Lager
 
In British Columbia’s first capital city, New Westminster, a brewery has been in continuous operation since 1879. First established by James Gibson as the Sapperton Brewery, and then later the Westminster Brewery. In 1950 the Lucky Lager Brewery Company purchased the operation and the “Lucky Lager” neon sign erected over the brewery became a Vancouver-area landmark. In 1958 Labatt acquired the Lucky Brewery operations and in Canada’s Centennial year, the name was changed to Labatt.
