Approximately twelve interested school plant supervisors attended. They met for the purpose of forming an association that would benefit school plant officials from all districts throughout the Province of British Columbia.

From the very beginning the enthusiasm and purpose for the meeting was strongly evident and there was no doubt about making plans to continue.

The First Annual General Meeting was convened at the Blue Boy Hotel, Vancouver B.C. in 1965 with an encouraging attendance of school personnel along with a small number of suppliers.

In June 1966 the Second Annual General Meeting was held in Prince George, B.C. at which time the constitution was drawn up. The name chosen was British Columbia School Plant Officials Association.

With interest in membership and conference attendance, along with a steady gain of suppliers, we have never looked back. A few years later the name was officially changed to the School Plant Officials Association of British Columbia.

The comradeship within the Association is remarkable - making the organization the unique body it has presently grown to. May the purpose for its existence always be nurtured with the vision and dedication of our charter members.
