The Village of Burns Lake is set to see new signage recognizing the Lakes District as an iconic northern B.C. tourism area.
This is being done through the Great Northern Circle Route Signage Program being run by the Northern B.C. Tourism Association.
“The program also involves close collaboration with indigenous communities to ensure they are best acknowledged and included in our signage,” said Economic Development Coordinator Erin Martens.
She added the two signs are being installed to recognize “iconic” landmarks along the circle route with Smithers, Stewart, and Gitanmaax.
The signs have been under construction for the past couple of years and Martens said the village hopes to have them installed before winter comes.
“They will be centrally located along Highway 16 in our RV parking lot,” she said.
One sign will feature indigenous and tourist information on the Lakes District.
The other will have information on the Great Northern Circle Route Signage Program.
