Former municipal services time capsule displayed at Tsuen Wan Town Hall (with photos)
​The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) today (December 28) started to display at Tsuen Wan Town Hall the time capsule that was buried by the former Provisional Urban Council and the former Provisional Regional Council.
As one of the millennium celebration activities, the time capsule was buried in Lai Chi Kok Park by the former Provisional Urban Council and the former Provisional Regional Council on December 26, 1999. The LCSD unearthed the time capsule on December 29 last year.
The exhibition will be held at the Exhibition Gallery of Tsuen Wan Town Hall from today to January 5 next year. A selection of more than 200 items that were contained in the time capsule are on display, enabling visitors to learn more about the development of the cultural, recreational and environmental sanitation services. Exhibits include souvenirs of millennium celebrations and items related to the municipal services as well as publications and souvenirs produced by the two former provisional municipal councils. The exhibition venue is open from 10am to 6pm daily. Admission is free.
All persons are required to use the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application to scan the venue QR code before they are allowed to enter offices and venues under the LCSD, except for exempted persons who are aged below 12 or aged 65 or above and those with disabilities that render use of the app difficult. Exemptions will also be granted to individual persons depending on the actual circumstances. All exempted persons are required to complete a record form to register their personal particulars and the date and time of their visit. The LCSD encourages the exempted persons to use the app as far as possible to save time.
