Kandahar Through Afghan Eyes 2010

January – February 2012

This inspiring exhibit consists of a collection of photographs accompanied by a poem or narrative created by young Afghans aged 18 to 24. A group of 15 students, selected from schools throughout Kandahar City, were trained for six weeks on the principles of photography, journalism, and Pashto literature. They visited different parts of Kandahar province, and photographed a wide range of themes illustrating the daily life of Kandaharis in a manner that, until now, has rarely been seen by those living outside the province.The exhibit was launched in Kandahar City in May 2010 and is now reaching out to youth across Canada. It seeks to share some of the realities of young Afghans and their perception of life, and to portray some of the challenges and opportunities they face on a daily basis.

Welcome to the Central British Columbia Railway & Forest Industry Museum Society. We are a non-profit registered charitable organization. The Society's goal is to preserve and display historic railway and forestry artifacts. The museum opened in July of 1986 to coincide with Expo '86 and the 150th Anniversary of rail travel in Canada.

Since our original opening we have expanded exponentially. Our collection consists of over seventy pieces of rolling stock, nine historical buildings and numerous smaller artifacts on our 8 acre site.
