Every British Columbian will have the chance to sign the B.C. Book and literally make their mark in history. Among the first people to sign the book today was Chief Robert Sam of the Songhees First Nation. A page will be turned each day, revealing the signatures of British Columbians. What a wonderful opportunity this book gives us to come together and show future generations that we were here to mark the beginning of this exciting new era. When the British Columbia Book leaves Government House, BC 2000 will leave behind extra pages at the Greater Victoria Savings Credit Union, a process that will be repeated throughout the province at local credit unions.
Residents can continue to sign the pages throughout the year.
At the end of 2000, pages will be collected from around British Columbia and added to the book. The British Columbia Book is sponsored, in part, by Forest Renewal BC, the Savings and Credit Unions of B.C. and Hazeldine Press. British Columbia 2000 helps local and regional government bodies and registered non-profit societies mark the millennium in a special way. Funding is available for community projects that celebrate the past or look forward to the future and provide a lasting benefit or legacy to the community. The Royal British Columbia Museum.
