The Provincial Government of B.C. will be forwarding a $100 cheque to each member of your family later this month. We each will have any number of ways to spend this money.
One possibility is to invest in the future of this region by preserving the past. Your Carbon Tax Credit cheque can be used by the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History to document and upload four historical photos to our web site at www.basininstitute.org. These photos will then exist in searchable format for everyone in the Columbia Basin (and elsewhere) to study and enjoy.
As well, the Columbia Basin Institute can use your donation to secure other matching funds, ensuring that even more historic photos become available. But, perhaps best of all, as a registered charity we can issue a charitable tax receipt to you, thereby making your investment in Basin history tax deductible.
Bring our history forward for everyone’s use – support the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History. Please visit us at www.basininstitute.org or by e-mail at info@basininstitute.org or by phone at (250) 489.9150.
