CAIRN DEDICATION
E
submitted by the Chase Museum
veryone is invited to attend the official dedication of the new cairn, conceived and constructed by the Chase Museum and Archives Society as participation in the CANADA 150 activities. This will be an event of considerable significance to the history of the area, so please, mark your calendars and make every effort to attend. Dedication of the cairn is scheduled to take place at the Museum, at 11:00AM on Saturday, May 05, and is expected to be attended by appropriate members of government, and representatives of the Village of Chase and local indigenous participants. Members of the public are invited, and will be welcome at this event. The cairn, as seen in the accompanying photograph, is a four-sided, stonefaced concrete structure about five feet high, topped by a brass bell from one
of the Canadian Pacific Railway steam locomotives that helped to build the western part of this country. The cairn contains a time capsule, to be opened at a future date. Major funding for the cairn was provided by a grant from the BC Museums Association. Support was also provided by the Village of Chase, the Little Shuswap (Skw’lax) Indian Band, the Nesconlith (Sk’atsin te Secwepémc) Indian Band, and the Adams Lake (Cstélec te Secwepémc) Indian Band. The support of all parties is recognized by individual plaques mounted on the structure. The brass bell mounted on the top of the cairn was originally donated by the CPR, to the Church that was the original occupant of the building that now houses the Chase Museum.
