Neither party was injured. To your right is a Coast Salesh Totem Pole donated by the native Indian people of British Columbia to commemorate the centenary of the union of the Province of British Columbia with Canada on July 20, 1871. A project of the First Citizens' Fund and the BC Centennial '71 Committee, it was carved at Kokselah, BC by Stan Modeste of the Cowichan Indian Band. Symbolic of the beginning of the second century of surveying in Canada, and a first post in a unified system of precisely coordinated survey points, it is one of 11 similar monuments across the country. Centennial Building Facing the park on King is the Center Building, where many provincial government offices are located.
Visitors are welcome at the occasional exhibits in the lobby.
The Playhouse was given to the people of New Brunswick in 1964 by publishing baron Lord Beaverbrook. Raised on the Miramichi, he made his fortune and reputation in the British newspaper industry. The Playhouse operated mainly as a roadhouse for its first four years, but in 1969 gave birth to Theatre New Brunswick, the province's only professional English-speaking theatre company. The Playhouse serves community needs and continues to house touring shows, ranging from ballet to concert performances and conferences, as well as being home base of Theatre New Brunswick.
