The article reports that a 14-kilogram boulder from Kicking Horse Pass, near Golden, British Columbia (B.C.), was boxed up, loaded onto a train to Vancouver, B.C. then put on a flight bound for Auckland, New Zealand, arriving just in time to commemorate the centennial of the death of Sir James Hector, an explorer and doctor. Hector had come to Canada in 1857 as part of the Palliser Expedition, which had been commissioned to explore and chart passages through the Rockies.
