July 14, 1967: The Golden Centennaires, an aerobatic team of the RCAF formed pseicifcally to celebrate Canada's 100th birthday perfromed over Creston. It was the team's only stop in the Kootenays, and the fact that it was here was no doubt due to the fact that Clarence B Lang, the squadron leader, was from Lister.
I've been told that this was the only time Creston ever hosted an airshow of high-performance jets.
And we have film footage of it! Thanks to Beth Kastellan for providing the film, and to CKCA for providing the funding to convert it from the original 8mm (this is part of the project we've been working on all winter).
