Info quoted from |Wanderung| Newsletter:

March 1, 2011 is the 100 year anniversary of BC Parks.  For those that aren't
aware, Strathcona Provincial park on Vancouver Island was the original and we
can't think of anything more dear to the heart of BC hikers than this momentous
event.  Some links for the interested:

what was going on back then in Strathcona
