The Province is investing $8.7 million to preserve and protect two of B.C.’s historic treasures: Fort Steele and Barkerville, announced Donna Barnett MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin on behalf of Margaret MacDiarmid, Minister of Tourism, Trade and Investment.
The funding will upgrade sewer, water and fire suppression systems over the next four years to safeguard health, safety and the environment, and to prevent the loss of irreplaceable artefacts at the two heritage sites.
“Our historic buildings, structures and cultural landscapes attract tourists from all over the world, creating jobs for British Columbians and supporting sustainable communities,” said MacDiarmid. “This $8.7-million investment reflects government’s commitment to preserving these irreplaceable sites, which help us appreciate and understand our heritage, as well as being crucial to the prosperity of our tourism sector.”
