Abstract
THE last western link in the Trans-Canadian highway—the Big Bend section in the Revylstoke district of British Columbia—was opened officially by the Premier of British Columbia, Mr. T. D. Patullo, a few weeks ago. The road provides motorists for the first time with an all-Canadian direct route from the prairies to the Pacific coast. The ceremony took place at Boat Encampment, where David Thompson first saw the Columbia River and began its exploration in 1906.
