One Hundred People – One Hundred Years
Biggar, Saskatchewan
1911 – 2011
News Release
100 People 100 Years Deadline Extended to July 15th
Organizers for the 100 People 100 Years book project to mark the Centennial of the Town of Biggar
in 2011 have extended the deadline for receiving the nomination write ups about the people nominated
to July 15, 2010. As they receive more of the write ups about the people to be included in the book
organizers are getting more excited about this being a very worthwhile project and are eager and really
want to see the project move forward. There are some wonderful stories being told as to the impact
various people have had upon our community during the past one hundred years. They are still short
of the required 100 entries for the book.
For anyone not aware of the project, information may be had by visiting the Biggar Museum & Gallery
website: Biggar Museum(http://www.biggarmuseum.com)
or by dropping into the museum and picking up a brochure.
The criteria and writer’s guidelines are available in the brochure and on the museum website.
If there is someone you feel worthy to be included in the book you can check to see if that person
is already registered and if not you are welcome to do the write up for the person so they can be
included in the book. Please forward the registration form in the brochure to the museum so several
people do not end up doing the same person.
With your participation and help, this community project can be a legacy to the Centennial of the Town of Biggar.
One Hundred People – One Hundred Years
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.
