Archives Lecture: Where Honour and Glory Lead � Michael Layland
The Royal Engineers, also known as the �Sappers�, provided many and varied forms of support in the early days of the two British colonies on the Pacific coast of North America. The speaker, an ex-sapper himself, will give an overview of their contributions.

Michael was President of the Friends of the B.C. Archives from 2011- October 2013 and continues as a board member. A former cartographer, he has for the past few years been researching the history of the exploration and mapping of Vancouver Island. His new book on that topic, �The Land of Heart�s Delight� is now available.
