[BCMA] Artifact donation offer from Global BC

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello,

Global BC has a potential donation of what we believe are items of historical significance and we are wondering if there are any heritage institutions in BC that would be interested in them.

From 2012-2016, Global National Mandarin operated out of the Global BC building on Enterprise Street in Burnaby. At this time, Global BC/Global National Mandarin were subsidiaries of Shaw Media. Shaw had a multicultural television channel that the program would run on.

As part of Shaw’s commitment to community, they offered to help build float pieces for the Chinese New Year parade in Vancouver. Global National Mandarin participated in three different years, as seen in these three different float themes:

  *   The year of the snake (2013)
  *   The year of the sheep (2015)
  *   The year of the monkey (2016)

Attached are images of the float pieces. They are all made of Styrofoam and their approximate measurements are:

  *   Snake: 6’ h x 20’ l x 10’ w (can detach into two parts)
  *   Monkeys: each 4’ h x 3’ w
  *   Sheep: each 3’ h x 3’ w

We really don’t want them to end up in a landfill and are hoping to find them a new home by the end of August. Happy to schedule a visit to the station with you if you’d like to see them in person before making a final decision.

Many thanks for the consideration.
Amanda
