<div>At long last, Rob Cannings and I, along with the staff of the Royal BC Museum, will celebrate the launch of our book,
<i>The Object's the Thing!: The Writings of Yorke Edwards, a Pioneer of Heritage Interpretation in Canada,</i> on 6 May at 7 pm PDT. We are both very grateful for the support you offered us as we were developing the materials and hope you will enjoy the launch,
 and the book!<br>
