Thanks to Doug Keller for sending us this 1958 booklet that celebrated the role of Fort Langley in the creation of the Colony of British Columbia 100 years earlier. The National Historic Site was partially restored for the B.C. Centennial; new palisades were built, one bastion, and the Big House. (The old storehouse was the only original building still standing.) The language in the pamphlet is typical of its time, and the role of Indigenous people is minimized. Today the Kwantlen are important partners, running the gift shop, a restaurant and helping interpret the Fort Langley and Kwantlen stories.
