In 2008, British Columbia celebrated the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia and 150 years of cultural diversity, community and achievement. As a celebration of this milestone, Jean Barman’s British Columbia: Spirit of the People captures the rich selection of archival images depicting the province’s past paired with iconic and stunning colour photographs capturing the diversity of the modern landscape.
Jean Barman is the author of ten previous books, including the bestseller The Remarkable Adventures of Portuguese Joe Silvey and winner of the 2006 City of Vancouver Book Prize, Stanley Park’s Secret. Barman’s longtime, impassioned pursuit to understand and uncover the history of British Columbia has earned her a position as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, among other honours.
Jean Barman read at the Lillooet Room of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre on November 26th, 2009, 2:00PM.
