The
Barkerville Heritage Trust made a presentation to the Regional District of
Fraser-Fort George and McBride Village Council Board in October regarding an
initiative to encourage the development of a new connector route to the
Barkerville - Wells area. The Trust had engaged a consultant to evaluate
three route options to create a circle route/tour which they anticipate will
increase tourism both to the Barkerville area and to the region as a whole.
The preferred route is the Purden Lake / Bowron River Road. The study
report is linked for your review.
The Trust was looking for the Regional District's support in pursing the
Purden Lake / Bowron River Road as a preferred option. The Board was
interested in how such an initiative may impact the region as a whole and
unfortunately the scope of the study is limited in this respect.
