A bit of cool B.C. History ⬇️ #ProvincialFossil #Elasmosaur
Have you heard of the elasmosaur? In 1988, Mike Trask and his daughter Heather found the first elasmosaur fossil west of the Canadian Rockies along near Courtenay on Vancouver Island. In 2023 the elasmosaur became BC's official fossil: https://t.co/BNjpry1oNT

This final image is of one of the milk jugs used to store records before being buried in the ghetto. I have worked with UNESCO records @BCArchives and found the public exhibit of this collection moving and inspiring. Great way to make info accessible to non-researchers (4/4)

Incredible first day at the @HeritageBCanada conference. The tour of the Brilliant Dam & surrounding area seamlessly wove together Sinixt, Doukhobor, & industrial history, illustrating overlaps & shared history. Learning from Audrey Repin, Shelley Boyd & JJ Verigin was an honour.
