Audio Interview with Pete and Ann Ozero.  Revelstoke Museum and Archives.

James Ozero came to Mount Cartier as a teenager in 1913, and raised his own family in the community. He was postmaster for many years until the Mount Cartier Post Office was closed in 1966.

Peter Ozero, son of James Ozero, talked about his father running the post office for 32 years, beginning in 1931. Peter said that the mail came every Wednesday and Sunday on the train from Revelstoke to Arrowhead. There was a Canadian Pacific Railway Station about half a mile from the post office.
