April 4th
– Lecture by Patricia Roy ~ Museum at Campbell River
British Columbians have always been proud of their province
but have often felt misunderstood by other Canadians and badly done by in
Confederation whether it be in delays in constructing the Canadian Pacific
Railway, the size of federal subsidies, immigration policies, freight rates, or
proposed constitutional changes. Yet, at the same time they have also been
loyal Canadians. Join the Museum at Campbell River on Thursday evening, April
4, at 7 pm for a unique talk entitled “British Columbia’s Ambiguous Relations
with the Rest of Canada”. With the assistance of editorial cartoons dating from
the 19th into the 21st century, Dr. Patricia Roy will examine this ambiguous
relationship. She taught Canadian history at the University of Victoria for
many years and has published several books on aspects of British Columbia’s
history. The latest is Boundless Optimism, a biography of Richard McBride,
British Columbia’s premier from 1903 to 1915. The lecture is made possible
through UVic’s Speakers Bureau. The cost for the talk is $6.00. Please call the
Museum at 287-3103 to reserve a seat.

April
6th – ‘Bend, Plant, Move Along ~ Museum at Campbell River
On Saturday, April
6th, the Museum at Campbell River is opening a new temporary exhibit entitled
‘Bend, Plant, Move Along’: Treeplanting Culture in British Columbia, that
features the history of tree planting and up to the present day. Curated by Ken
Blackburn and composed of photos, artifacts and anecdotes contributed by
individuals who have worked in the silviculture industry in BC, this exhibit
portrays the lifestyle that has resulted from the dirty work of tree planting.
Some of the earliest tree planting in this part of Vancouver Island came about as a result of the Sayward Fire of 1938. Since then, trees have been viewed as a renewable resource and tree planting as a way of life. With inspiration taken from Charlotte Gill’s book Eating Dirt, the exhibit is a true life portrayal of this challenging way of making a living.
