[edit] The birthplace of British Columbia?
Fort St. John may have a quibble with this young whippersnapper! Fishhead64 02:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- The reason Fort Langley has been called the "birthplace of BC"' is described in the following way on Fort Langley's website: "On November 19, 1858, the actual proclamation of Crown Colony status took place in the Big House at Fort Langley. Thus Fort Langley was proclaimed the birthplace of B.C."[1] Sunray 14:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Historic Site vs. Village?
Perhaps a differentiation should be made between Fort Langley National Historic Site and Fort Langley, British Columbia? Both could really use some work. -- TheMightyQuill 14:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with both your points. Sunray 14:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- I created a Fort Langley page that redirects to this page, and then I put {{For|the historic fort|Fort Langley National Historic Site}} at the top of this page. -- Usgnus 21:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
