Image courtesy of the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History While wishing you and yours a delightful holiday season, the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History (CBIRH) would like to share some year-end tidings. 2021 has been fruitful, and we have enjoyed numerous changes, including an office move. Board Vice President Linda Anderson has been instrumental in donating many artifacts to the CBIRH, which have been added to our collection and have greatly enriched our resources. Lending his creative expertise and discerning eye, Gert de Groot has worked on several projects with our team, including the panel project for the Triangle Women's Institute. As a result, it received additional funding to complete the entire collection of 20 panels, culminating in a museum-style exhibit in the Pioneer Hall in Grasmere in 2021/2022. To view our latest project with the TWI, please visit:www.trianglewomensinstitute.ca. Our work with the South Country has resulted in a great partnership while also providing a healthy funding supply. Board Chair Chris Johns continues to be an invaluable asset to the Institute, bringing both contracts and connections with School District No. 5 (SD#5) and No. 6 (SD#6). These partnerships have solidified a significant funding source for the CBIRH as we collaborate on projects realized this year and are bringing to fruition in 2022.
