Sponsored by the Ladysmith & District Historical Society the presentation will be held via zoom and is free to the public. Email for your link museum@ladysmithhistoricalsoceity.ca

How we describe where we live changes with circumstance and Ladysmith for its first fifty years had abrupt ups and downs, she adds.
