WHEREAS Donna James of the City of Vancouver, in the Province of British Columbia, has by her petition represented

(a) that the Bridge River Valley Flying Association (the "Society") was incorporated in British Columbia on June 4, 1979, under Certificate of Incorporation No. S-0014780 issued under the Societies Act, R.S.B.C. 1960, c. 362, in effect on that date,

(b) that a notice was published in the British Columbia Gazette on September 26, 1991, stating that the Society would be struck off the Register of Companies and dissolved unless, within one month after the publication of the notice, cause was shown to the contrary,

(c) that the Society was struck off the Register of Companies on November 1, 1991,

(d) that a notice was published in the British Columbia Gazette on November 21, 1991, stating that the Society was struck off the Register of Companies and dissolved on November 1, 1991,

(e) that, despite the notice referred to in paragraph (d), the Society, having no knowledge of the publication of that notice, continued to carry on the business of the Society as if it had not been dissolved,

(f) that it will not be possible to continue carrying on the business of the Society unless the Society is revived, and

(g) that, despite the repeal of the Company Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 62, Part 9 of that Act continues to apply to the Society under section 71 of the Society Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 433, and since there is no provision in that Part for the revival of a society more than 10 years after it has been dissolved, the Society cannot be revived except by a special Act of the Legislature of British Columbia;

AND WHEREAS Donna James has by her petition requested that it be enacted as follows, and it is expedient to grant the request in the petition;

HER MAJESTY, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia, enacts as follows:
