Folks:
We have a great event lined up for July 1 in Yale -- the first organized 
by the New Pathways To Gold Society. Please help us spread the word by 
sending this email and pdf to as many people as you can. It's especially 
important for directors to use their networks to get people out. It's 
going to be a great day -- don't miss it!
Cheers,
Don

Canada Day Celebrations in Historic Yale

Time: 3:00 - 8:30 pm
Where: Yale Historic Site
(Museum Grounds)
Only 10 minutes from Hope!

Join L-G for Special Canada Day Experience
The Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Iona Campagnolo, will preside at 
a special Canada Day celebration at historic Yale and give a preview of 
some of the events in store to mark next year’s BC2008 celebrations. 
BC2008 is a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the 
Crown Colony of British Columbia in 1858. BC’s modern day history was 
forged on the banks of the Fraser River in Yale during the height of the 
1858 Gold Rush. Only 10 minutes from Hope, Yale played a major role in 
the creation of British Columbia, joining Confederation in 1871, and the 
construction of the CPR in the 1880s. These events shaped our province 
and dramatically impacted the lives of First Nations in the Fraser 
Canyon and beyond. Less than two hours from downtown Vancouver, and even 
closer to the Fraser Valley communities, join our Lt. Governor Iona 
Campagnolo, the Yale First Nation, the Yale and District Historical 
Society and the Yale community for an authentic Canada Day experience 
that celebrates our living history.

Events Not To Be Missed!

Lieutenant Governor to Deliver Stump Speech
The Honourable Iona Campagnolo will play a special role in the 
festivities, which will feature live music, street theatre and historic 
re-enactments with colourful characters from British Columbia’s past. 
The Lt. Governor will deliver the “stump speech” given by Governor James 
Douglas in 1858 to 10,000 miners, merchants and First Nations in Yale. 
This historic event was a key moment in strengthening the hold of 
British law over the stampede of mostly-American miners. A High Tea will 
be held afterwards on the Yale Museum grounds.

The Musical Stylings of Haley Sales
Vancouver Island based singer/song-writer Hayley Sales’ music resonates 
with a wide variety of audiences. Her newly released single “What You 
Want” has risen to #6 on the Adult Contemporary charts. You can see her 
latest video or listen to her music online at www.hayleysales.com.

Lots of Activities and Family Fun!
Catch the colourful characters from BC’s past as actors put on a show 
with street theatre and come in your own period costume. Enjoy the music 
and dance from artists like Haley Sales, Black London and the Siska 
Dancers. Take a historic walking tour with costumed interpreters, browse 
the goods in the golden Gateway Market, treat the kids to the Children’s 
Games, zoom on the Fraser River in a zodiac and much more!
