Administrative history
The Tappen Centennial Committee was formed on March 29, 1965 to organize activities in the Tappen area to commemorate the Canadian Centennial (1967) and the centennial of B.C.'s entry into confederation (1971).
The organization was created by the executive of the Tappen Women's Institute at an advertised public meeting. The purpose of the committee was to secure funding for special projects. Projects sponsored by the committee had to be recreational or cultural in nature and could include playgrounds, heating systems, additions to halls and museums. Special funding was matched by three sources, federal, provincial and local at $1 per person. Projects had to be completed by 1966 and dedicated during the Canadian centennial celebrations in 1967.
Mrs. H.C. Ford was the first chairman elected and M. McLean was recording secretary. The committee met regularly until Oct. 1967.
In 1970 the committee was revitalized in anticipation of British Columbia's centennial. Projects supported by provincial funding had to be cultural, recreational or functional in nature.
The elected officers included Mrs. Murray Bruce, chair, Mrs. P.J. Carroll, vice chair, Mrs. Jim Smith, treasurer, Margaret Talbot, Secretary, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Matt Kari, and Mrs. Kingston.
