History

    • It was first proposed in 1963 at a CLA Annual Meeting, and adopted at the next CLA AGM.
    • t was registered with the BC Societies Act in 1965. 
    • At the CLA AGM in Montreal on January 19, 1966, forty-eight first members were inducted to the Hall.  
    • As a result of continued effort by Jack Fulton, supported by Harry McKnight  and Don Benson, the official opening of the Hall as part of New Westminster Parks Board, took place on May 17, 1967.
