Friends of Kootenay AGM tomorrow
By Larry Halverson
Friends of Kootenay (National Park) are holding their annual general meeting on Friday, May 31 at the Prestige Inn in Radium Hot Springs.
A highlight of the evening meeting will be a presentation – The David Thompson Brigade Tracing the Columbia.
On June 3, 2011, 10 Voyageur North Canoes departed from Invermere on a 1,700 kilometre trip to Astoria, Oregon via the Kootenay, Clark Fork, Pend Oreille and Columbia rivers.
On July 15, 2011, the international 2011 David Thompson Columbia Brigade completed this six week journey, arriving in Astoria, Oregon 200 years to the day that explorer and fur trader David Thompson’s arrived in 1811.
Tracing the Columbia, is a multiple award winning documentary about the Columbia Brigade that will be presented by Ross MacDonald, chair of the Columbia Brigade and founder of the sweeping David Thompson Bicentennial (2007-2011).
