and the truck convoy that brought special
exhibits to ali parts of B.C. However,
Gen. Chairman Waliace of the B.C. Cent-
ennial Committee had not only complemented
us on the Year's activities but had sent
us the very first copy of the film.

This magnificent professional film cer-
tainly brought all those present into
close contact with the outstanding events
of 1971. tt reminded us that Cassiar's
efforts were a loud:echo of those in the
rest of B.C. It is interesting to wonder
what they will think when the time capsule,
that was sealed in front of the Parliament
Buildings is opened, Cassiar's illustrated
Centennial brochure is in there too! What
will they think of us in one hundred years?

So, our Centennial lives on. There is
the Arena, the Annual Regatta Days and
Vinter Carnivals, the medals and ribbons,
but best are the memories....and none of
this would have been possible without your
help. Thank you Cassiar Citizens.
