By David F. Rooney

It’s not every day the Queen’s representative in our province pays a visit to our town and Lieut.-Gov Judith Guichon’s trip here sent a shiver of excitement through segments of the community.

After a visit to City Hall and Begbue View Elementary School, Ms. Guichon enjoyed tea with seniors at Moberley Manor as well as a tour of the Revelstoke Railway Museum and visit with members of Branch 46 of the Royal Canadian Legion, one of whom was aged Second World War veteran John Augustyn.

Here are a few photos from the afternoon:
