I am releasing this video on the anniversary of the birthday of John

McLoughlin, the first Governor of Columbia, or Proto British Columbia, on

19 October 1784.

The first school in Proto British Columbia was established by Governor John McLoughlin in 1832. Faced with pressure by the UK government to relax its restriction on missionaries the HBC supported Reverend Herbert Beaver for a position at the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­school. It established a precedent for the development of public education in British Columbia.
