In 2009 the BC Provincial Capital Commission did a series of short history docs about various aspects of BC.  With the end of the PCC in March of 2014 it is not clear what will happen to these videos so I thought would post them to ensure they remain online.

Mini-doc on Amor de Cosmos (1825-1897), born William Alexander Smith, who in 1858 founded British Columbia's first newspaper. He also had a vibrant political career, serving as Victoria's first MP and BC's second premier.

Here was the link the the BC PCC original video
