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, to hold oral history interviews with the descendants of these families, and to create from the results a bilingual digital exhibition available on the website of DMC, in both official languages.
Do not miss this presentation, which includes new and sometimes staggering facts that came to light during the project, where members of mixed ancestry triumphed over a succession of difficult paths.
