The annual Douglas Day Dinner was attended by a full house at the Fort Langley Community Hall on Friday November 16th. Artist, writer and historian Michael Kluckner (and former president of LHS) presented the life of Julia Henshaw; novelist, journalist, botanist, explorer and World War I ambulance driver who won the French Croix de Guerre 100 years ago. Douglas Day was declared in 1946 to honour the former governor who proclaimed the new colony of British Columbia at Fort Langley in 1858.
