CANADA, 1950 - 1959
CANADA, 1950 - 1959
Program - 1959 75th Annual Meeting (BCRA)
Program - 1959 75th Annual Prize Meeting of the British Columbia Rifle Association (BCRA) at Blair Range [Note Blair Range was named after a CO of the Seaforths].
Between 1922 and 1968 the Blair Rifle Range (named for Lt Col R.M. Blair) was used by the Canadian government to detain unemployed men and for military training purposes. The site serves as a reminder of Canadas experiences in the Great Depression of the 1930s and its legacy of activism, protest and the birth of national social programs. It also symbolizes the mobilization that occurred during World War II and the military presence in the Seymour (North Vancouver) area.
