Textual, Cartographic, Graphic 1.59 meters Title: Fernie family fonds Dates of creation: [188-?] – [ca. 2004], predominant 1900 – 1950 Physical description: 1.59 m of textual records, cartographic records, and graphic material Biographical sketch: William Lewis Fernie was born on 1 April 1868 at Macklesfield, Cheshire, England. He was educated at the King Edward VI Grammar School in Macklesfield and at Owens College, Victoria University, in Manchester. In 1887 Fernie emigrated from England and settled in Minnedosa, Manitoba, where he was employed as a farmer. He worked in Manitoba for two years before deciding against a career in farming and instead moved further west to British Columbia. After arriving in B.C. he spent a short time working on the coast as a fisherman and in the Chilcoten district as a cowhand. Fernie eventually moved to the Kamloops area in 1890 and took out a pre- emption of 320 acres at Black Pines in the North Thompson Valley. From 1900 to 1901 he served in the Boer War with the Strathcona Horse. After the war Fernie returned to Kamloops and joined the B.C. provincial police, signing on as a local constable in April of 1901. Fernie was quickly promoted to chief constable of Kamloops five years later and then appointed inspector following WWI.

  • 2012/13 Year-End Report (By Community) - April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013
    Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch Gaming Grants Paid to Community Organizations - Final 2012/13 Year-End Report (by community) - April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 Generated: June 19, 2013 Report period: April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 (Government fiscal year 2012/13) Description and Notes: Community organizations may be eligible for government community gaming grants to support their programs and services. Payments for approved grants are made throughout each government fiscal year, and the timing of the payments depends on the grant category / sector. - Multiculturalism grants (see "Grant Type" column) were a one-time grant available in government fiscal year 2012/13 offered and funded by the Ministry of Finance and Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism. These grants are not considered gaming grants, but are shown in this report because they were administered by the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch. - Unused grant funds that were returned during the fiscal year are shown at the end of this report. - Some organizations receive grants in more than one category; therefore the number of unique organizations receiving grant payments is usually less than the number of grants paid.
