Unveiling of Millennium Time Capsule at UVic

Journalists are invited to attend the colourful unveiling and dedication of the 2001 Millennium Time Capsule:

June 25, 4:00-5:00 p.m.
Foyer of the David Lam Auditorium
MacLaurin Building, room A144

Join hundreds of school children, a jazz ensemble, and a host of dignitaries and participants in the time capsule project to celebrate the unveiling of this 3-metre-tall plexiglass pyramid containing a collapsible scooter, a belly button ring, wedding gowns and hundreds of other items representing the thoughts and feelings of young people at the turn of the millennium.

The project was the dream of Richmond Elementary School teacher Judi Warrington and her students, and involved the participation and support of many at UVic, including Dr. Bill Zuk and Dean Bruce Howe of the Faculty of Education and Martin Segger, Director of the Maltwood Museum and Art Gallery. The capsule will stand for the next century in the MacLaurin Building and be opened in 2101.
