The BC Provincial Capital Commission is currently researching major upcoming
events between now and 2021 when the province celebrates 150th anniversary
of entry into confederation.  While many have already be identified, please
help us all to our list by letting us know of any significant (ie 50th,
75th, 100 or greater) anniversaries that you may be preparing to celebrate
