The colony of British Columbia was officially declared on a rainy November day at Fort Langley in 1858. We think the sesquicentennial is a great time to reflect on a rich and varied history, and we're asking you to join in. http://www.cbc.ca/bc/features/150/

There was a big festival planned in Wellington to rival the Centennial Celebrations of 1940. Unfortunately for the organisers it was a great flop and got cancelled soon after it opened! I've still got the tickets to go........ For a long time afterwards when some event was described as a 'Sesqui' what it really meant that it was a huge flop!
