I know the NB history,doesn't everybody?

Then read about it ,google it, or there are loads of books.

Or does the history need changing?

The Provincial Capital Commission is developing a history of the capital region that it hopes will be used in school curriculums.

It's one of many projects the commission has planned for 2008.

Commission chairman Walter Brown said in a recent interview that a volunteer committee has been created to oversee the history project and a corporate sponsor is being sought.

"2008 is going to be an exciting year for us," he said. "The capital region is the second home for all New Brunswickers."

The history will include all cultures, peoples and places that make up the capital region, Brown said, which is more than just Fredericton.

The region includes 13 municipalities such as Nackawic, Stanley, Chipman, Fredericton Junction and McAdam.

The commission's history advisory committee is made up of a number of professors from New Brunswick universities.

They will advise and direct graduate students to do the research and post-graduate students to do the writing.

The committee includes: Maurice Basque, Universite de Moncton; Margaret Conrad and Gail Campbell, University of New Brunswick in Fredericton; Don Desserud, UNB in Saint John; Michael Boudreau, St. Thomas University; Hannah Lane, Mount Allison University; and, as advisors for aboriginal issues, Stephen Dutcher, Lisa Pearly Dutcher and Evelyn Plaice from UNB.

The plan is to have individual chapters available online and in hard copy for the classroom.

"You reach all people, but the children are the key," Brown said.

(OH YES,WE KNOW ABOUT THE KEY!
But are you using the key to lock,or unlock.)?
