The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Peace,
river,
north.
Thank
you,
honourable
speaker.
History
is
not
only
about
the
past.
It
is
ongoing
and
happening
now.
The
peace
crossing
historical
society
and
the
district
of
taylor
aims
to
preserve
and
collect
the
history
of
the
community
and
the
surrounding
area.
The
peace
crossing
historical
society
society
is
excited
to
be
working
with
the
district
of
taylor
council
and
the
surrounding
historical
groups.
A
To
further
the
understanding
and
knowledge
of
the
remarkable
history
of
the
area
of
taylor,
peace
crossing
has
been
collecting
artifacts
and
stories
in
the
peace
region
working
toward
a
museum
in
taylor
that
will
supplement
the
current
assortment
of
history
displays
throughout
our
northern
area.
Many
of
these
local
precious
artifacts
are
being
stored
in
homes,
garages
and
other
museums
in
1972,
the
taylor
museum
was
located
on
peace
island
park
on
the
peace
river.
A
The
original
museum
in
taylor
was
first
part
of
camp
alcan
on
the
alaska
highway
during
the
second
world
war
before
becoming
part
of
central
elementary
school
in
14th,
john
and
then
becoming
the
museum.
I
remember
numerous
times
visiting
the
museum
as
a
kid.
Unfortunately,
it
did
close
a
number
of
years
ago
and
has
yet
to
be
replaced.
A
Peace
crossing
has
also
identified
about
14
local
veterans
interred
at
the
taylor
cemetery,
with
great
thanks
to
warren
moore's
work.
There
are
plans
in
place
to
have
the
cemetery
graves
marked
on
a
public
map.
Noting
these
heroes.
The
society's
short-term
goal
is
to
seek
the
district's
help
with
getting
the
society's
first
of
all
fully
functioning.
While
the
long
term
is
looking
at
building
and
moving
into
a
larger
space
as
any
non-profit,
they
will
be
seeking
grants
for
this
work.
A
Peace
crossing
historical
society
looks
forward
to
continuing
to
explore
the
vision
of
the
museum
in
taylor
that
highlights
the
community's
long
history.
The
huge
collection
is
a
valuable
knowledge
and
archives
that
is
currently
housed
by
various
people
in
taylor,
which
really
highlights
the
need
for
a
permanent
home.
They
also
hope
to
be
helping
celebrate
taylor
elementary
school's
100th
anniversary
this
year.
Societies
such
as
the
peace
crossing
historical
society
are
priceless
to
our
communities,
and
I
applaud
all
of
those
who
volunteer
their
time
in
preserving
our
history.
Thank
you.
