Webber was active with the local museum, and when he attended a B.C. Museum Society conference in the fall of 1973, the federal program was announced. Funds were available to build the centres, as well as for operating ¢ costs. “I couldn't believe it,” says Webber. He talked to Bill Merilees, a biology instructor at Selkirk College and another member of the local historical society,. who. said he would look into the government's announcement.

We made the application,” Webber said. “The next thing we knew a cheque came in the mail. We were totally unprepared.” Webber said Harry Soloveoff of Castlegar drew up the plans and it was then that the local resident realized $100,000 was not enough to build the centre. An_ additional $30,000 was obtained through the provincial lottery foundation with the help of MLA Chris D'Arcy, Webber said. Pete Oglow was the foreman of the project. Local residents donated their time and businesses and groups like Trowelex and the city of Castlegar donated equipment. *"Whenithe centre opened, it became the permanent headquarters for the Castlegar Museum, which was moved from the basement of the main branch of the Castlegar library, where ,it had been since 1967. “Things were pretty tight the first year,” recalled.

Exhibition centres were originally designéd to present history, art and science and all their own collections, but would devote their efforts to using travelling exhibitions and displays from other members of the network. ‘The NEC in Castlegar was one of-28 such: centres throughout the country.
