Barkerville says goodbye to family of shopkeepers

In other words, Barkerville will transition from being historically accurate to historically inaccurate with the upcoming change.Tourism will drop.

Unfortunately the silence from city hall and our elected officials speaks volumes. This will continue to happen until the people that were elected finally stand up for their constituents.

Not much lower than stealing from a charity

Barkerville is about the history of Barkerville and the goldrushers who established it and built businesses there.It is not about the history of the indigenous.

Once again councilors except a few (not Kyle ever) would rather keep the status quo spending habits. The fact they admit they would rather keep items secret that they are willing to pay instead of finding the same option for better prices seems like some nepotism.

Maybe local businesses could donate their time to help with the repairs. Cans and bottles stolen ... hmmm ... who ever could it be I wonder?

Imo the biggest factor, that I think you missed, is people have to want to get better. Provide for them whatever you want, but if they are not interested in getting off drugs and cleaning their lives up, they never will.But thats the system we have created. Most of these folks have simply resigned themselves to their fate. And why wouldn’t you? Free drugs, free money, free food, free shelter, do whatever I want. Or I can fight tooth and nail to get off the drugs, clean myself up and become a productive member of society and barely scrape by endlessly.

Unions should protect workers, not protect jobs.

Thx Debbie Downer. It will continue as business as usual for the most part and the employees don't get to lose their jobs. Economic development can be a powerful tool, never under estimate it.

This company’s lighting is detracting from Prince George’s riverfront. I hope the Heritage Committee steps in to protect the historic river view they’re meant to preserve (Heritage View (e.g., view of the historic river confluence).The company should use some of the money to fix its lighting and add evergreen trees, to reduce the impact of their facility on our riverfront. As it stands, it feels inconsiderate of the community.

Barkerville is already historically inaccurate the stores and restaurants have electric lighting and indoor plumbing. Barkerville had many gentlemen's entertainment establishments - NOT a family friendly vacation attraction.

It's powerdraining centres like this that make BCHydro a net importer of electricity and that power is purchased from the good ol USA.Elbows up and heads in the sand.That's B.C. and Canada.

Soooooo instead of actually locking up thieves who steal bicycles, the taxpayers who are already paying for a legal system now get to pay for volunteers (not really sure why tax money is needed when it is being run by volunteers) to make sure bicycles don't get stolen?

Thank you Downtown PG for providing secure, convenient bike parking! Infrastructure like this matters. The benefits of cycling are often undervalued—not only does it improve individual health, but it also strengthens the local economy. Communities that invest in bike-friendly infrastructure support small businesses, increase local spending, and create more vibrant, accessible downtowns.

Legal firearms turned into illegal firearms. Take up another hobby like knitting or stamps.

Nice piece of work.I give it a month tops before the downtown homeless druggies either chop it apart for firewood or just burn it down.
