#0146.0297: Kimberley Museum volunteers Fran Cormack and Kay Oliver enjoy tea near the Christmas Tree - Photo by Charles Wormington. Image courtesy of the Kimberley District Heritage Society and CBIRH Johns facilitated the creation of a digital display for the new Kootenay Learning Campus in Fernie in partnership with SD#5, with the screen provided by an anonymous donor and with content supplied by the CBIRH. An extensive series of images from the Elk Valley are currently cycling at the entranceway. Special thanks to Anna Majkowski for her expertise and guidance with the exhibit. A partnership has also been formed with First Perk Coffee House in Jaffray. We will be placing a digital display projecting historical views of the South Country. The exhibit will also highlight our work with the Triangle Women's Institute in Grasmere and the Waldo Stockbreeders' Association. Our goal is to boost the profile of CBIRH and bolster sales. Keeping with our mandate to promote history beyond the Basin, Miho Takeuchi from a Japanese production company approached the CBIRH to purchase a photo titled 'An Overview of Cranbrook,' B.C. for a documentary series to be aired in Japan. International interest is an excellent demonstration of the global footprint of the internet for both us and our partner, the Cranbrook History Centre. Special thanks to Ron Beamish for your expertise with eBay and a special shout out to all of our board members, volunteers, patrons, and partners for helping us to realize our vision and continue to keep the doors open. Let's have a fantastic 2022, and thank you from all of us here at CBIRH!!! Have a safe and merry holiday season!!! Celebrating good works this year
