On October 3^rd, 2008, the Franciscans of Western Canada, properly known as Christ the King Province, celebrated their 100^th anniversary in western Canada with a gala dinner at the Northlands Agricom in Edmonton, Alberta.  The event arrived after months of preparations by the Centennial Gala Steering Committee, led by Teresa Haykowsky and Tim Spellicey, as well as by many others who assisted behind the scenes to raise money from sponsors and to promote and sell tickets for the one time only event.
