Ladysmith was incorporated in 1904. In 2004 they celebrated their centennial year. A book was published which received an award from the Heritage Society of British Columbia. Copies of this book are still available from The Society. Funds raised go directly to The Historical Society.

12 panels were created depicting the various stages of Ladysmith's development. We have made copies of them available here for viewing. They require Adobe Acrobat to view them.
