Don’ miss our Members’ Meeting this month - our speaker is Maurice Guibord, Director General, Societe historique Francophone de la Colombie-Britannique. He will be speaking on “The Francophone Ranchers of the B.C. Interior Plateau, 1860s-1870s”

In 2019, the SHFCB received a grant from Digital Museums Canada to launch onsite research in the Cariboo and the Okanagan on the history of Francophones who launched ranches in those regions in the 1860s-70s. Maurice Guibord will discuss this work and the interesting insights that were revealed.

We all have friends and family members who have expressed an interest in genealogy but don’t know where to start. Why not invite them to our June Members’ Meeting where they can meet other BCGS members and discover all that the BCGS can offer them?

The meeting will include short presentations on the resources available to members on our website and at our Library.

When: JUNE 12th 7pm for pre-meeting chat, meeting starts at 7:30
via ZOOM

If you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to share your Zoom link for the meeting or ask them to email info@bcgs.ca to request an invitation.
