Custodial History

Print was presumably made from a photo taken by Bill Dungate. It came into the possession of Dino Laramie sometime after Dungate's death and was donated by him to the Museum prior to 2020, along with a large number of other Dungate prints and slides. It was accessioned in September/October 2022.

Scope and Content

Photograph of people standing atop a float at an unidentified annivesary celebration in Houston, with a crowd watching from the ground.

Geographic Access

Houston, B.C.

Notes

Likely the Canadian centennial (1967), BC's provincial centennial (1971), or an anniversary event for the town of Houston. Text on banner is obscured but seems to say 'ANNIVERSARY' and has a maple leaf symbol; two flags (Canadian and British Columbian?) on float.

Likely taken in 1960 or later due to the BC flag at right (officially introduced on June 14th 1960).

Houston Royal Bank building visible in background (left side).
