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.
