One Hundred People One Hundred Years
Biggar, Saskatchewan
1911 – 2011
The Biggar Museum & Gallery has selected a community project - One Hundred People, One Hundred Years, Biggar, Saskatchewan 1911 to 2011, to mark the Centennial of the Town of Biggar in 2011. The project, the publication of a book telling the story of the one hundred people who had an impact upon our community during the last 100 years. These are the people who shaped and nurtured our community, our children, our aged, our spiritual needs, our healthiness, our intellect and our community spirit for a century. Some of these Biggarites, you never knew, but you heard stories about what they did for the town and its citizens. The book will be published for 2011.
It is being called a community project because it is up to Biggar residents past and present to nominate those they feel worthy to be included in the book. Organizers are hopeful the nominations will cover all the decades. There are some individuals who’s dedication and commitment to their cause crosses several decades.
The Biggar Museum & Gallery is now accepting registrations for nominations.
Deadline for nominations is
May 15, 2010
The project is limited to the first one hundred entries registered and which are then followed up with the nomination papers being submitted to the Biggar Museum & Gallery before the deadline. All submissions become the property of the Biggar Museum & Gallery.
Nominations must meet the criteria as set forth and adhere to the writer’s guidelines. The guidelines are listed below.
Please do not wait for the deadline. Our volunteers would like to have the nominations in as early as possible so that the project may be completed before they become involved with other activities connected with the Centennial. Our volunteers have busy lives, so it is important everyone cooperates to make this project a great success.
If you are going to nominate someone please fill in the registration form that comes with this brochure and drop it off or mail it to the Biggar Museum & Gallery so a record can be kept of the people being nominated but whose nomination isn’t yet filed with the museum. You may check with the museum to find out if the person you want to see nominated has been nominated to avoid duplication.
Let’s show our community spirit and make this community project a legacy to the centennial of the Town of Biggar.
