Tree nursery keeps curling club going
Up in the airThis year’s annual Mother’s Day Fly In at the local airport had a day full of beautiful weather to go with it. Organizer Andy Anderson said the day was “awesome”. Besides the many small planes, this year featured four American Harvards, three Chinese Nanchangs and a Russian Yak. Anderson said they all wanted to come and get in some air time for other air shows this summer.

The Ashcroft Curling Club will be turned into a tree nursery this summer while it’s not in use.
At its May 11 meeting, Ashcroft Council ap-proved a $5,000 one-time grant to the Curling Club to assist with their operating costs and also forgave the Club’s $1,250 contribution to the re-serve fund for the rink. The money will be taken from the Curling Rink’s Capital Asset Reserve Fund, which both the Club and the Village con-tribute to.
Curling memberships have been decreas-ing recently, and the Club is looking for other means to obtain revenue. The rink sits empty for much of the year, so the Club has a signed con-tract with a tree seedling company who will pay them to store the seedlings in the curling rink. The contract covers the cost of the hydro as well as other sundry costs. The club is hoping to end up with $4,000 when the project is over, but won’t be paid until 30 days after the seedlings are removed. Because of that, the Club asked for the $5,000 grant.
Coun. Doreen Lambert voted against the grant.
“I’m really torn by this,” she said. “If you look at it as a business... If it was a business, it should be closed down. If you can’t pay your bills...”
“It’s risky for everyone concerned,” said Coun. Al Mertens, who noted that the finances were pretty tight.
“The Curling Club is fighting to stay alive,” said Mayor Jack Jeyes. “They’re going out on their own to get this contract. I think we need to show our support for their efforts.”
Coun. Alf Trill commented that the Club still had over $47,000 in the Capital Asset Re-serve Fund. He supported the group in its fund-raising efforts.
“It would be a shame not to give them this opportunity when they’ve made such effort,” agreed Coun. Roden. “It’s one of the few facili-ties in town that seniors can make use of.”
Mayor Jeyes said the Seniors Night, prob-ably the largest group, still attracted at least 30 curlers.
“I would look at this as a helping hand to get them on their feet,” he said.
Administrator Michelle Allen said the Club will be using the money from the contract as well as the grant from the Village to cover their start up costs this Fall.

Graymont’s lime plant at Pavilion
Busy NAOSH day for Pavilion Lime PlantGraymont Pavilion Plant
hosted an event at the Mar-ble Canyon Arbor to pro-mote the theme, “Make Safety a Habit at Home and at Work” on May 4.
This was the theme for the North American Occu-pational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week. NAOSH is an annual where employ-ers, workers, and all partners in occupational health and safety collaborate to pro-mote injury and illness pre-vention.
The day started off at the tent beside the Arbor where several information booths were set up explaining the Process of Making Lime, the Quarry, Maintenance, Reclamation, Mine Res-cue and Personal Protect-ive Equipment (PPE). The Ts’kw’aylaxw First Nation Volunteer Fire Department had an information table set up as well. There was a photo-booth set up for the kids to try on various PPE and have their picture taken. It was a great opportunity for the young ones to learn about safety and they linked the PPE to working with
tools and also with rescue!Tours of the Mine were
offered throughout the day where people were able to learn about the process of drilling and blasting the rock in the quarry, loading and hauling the stone to the crusher, crushing the stone down to size and then cal-cining (“cooking”) the stone in the kiln to create Quick-lime. The bulk of the product made at the Pavilion Plant is for the pulp and paper indus-try for a chemical process as well as the mining industry as water treatment and to re-move the mineral from the ore. Leading the tours was the Production Supervisor, Ira Harry and Curtis Ed-wards, a Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee Member.
Checkmate Fire Preven-tion was on hand to provide Fire Extinguisher Training for Graymont employees as well as community mem-bers. Many had the oppor-tunity to try using a fire ex-tinguisher for the first time and there was great partici-pation in this activity. This was a part of encouraging
the theme for safety at work and at home.
There was a lunch and a Mine Rescue Demonstration in the afternoon. The scen-ario was a motor vehicle ac-cident with a patient whom was thrown from the vehicle and had to be rescued from down the bank and brought back up in a basket to the Emergency Transport Vehicle (ETV). It was ex-plained to the audience that in any rescue scenario the
safety of the re-sponding team is of utmost im-portance and the team dem-onstrated this by extinguish-ing a small fire beside the pick-up before go-ing down the bank to res-cue the patient. The team had the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in First Aid, rig-ging and mech-anical advan-tages, and team work.
The Pa-vilion Plant is proud to have
12 Mine Rescue Team mem-bers, eight Level 3 First Aid Attendants, and 32 Employ-ees trained in First Aid and the use of the AED (Auto-mated External Defibrilla-tor).
“Graymont is real-ly pleased by the commun-ity involvement,” said Plant Manager, Christian Desbi-ens. “Safety at work and at home are equally important. Pavilion plant is committed to developing a good safety culture and supports bring-ing the same ideas home.”
This event was organized by the NAOSH committee: Health, Safety & Environ-mental Coordinator Kitrina McDonald, Simon Harry, and Justin Kane. All three are members of the Gray-mont Pavilion Environment-al Committee, Mine Rescue Team, and all are Level 3 First Aid Attendants.
The Pavilion Plant has been in operation since 1974 and currently has 40 em-ployees. Limestone ore is quarried and processed at the mine and turned into Quicklime or “lime.” It is used for acid neutralization, water treatment, desulfuriz-ation, sludge stabilization, and many other industrial uses.

Midway rides added to Parade weekend
It’s time for the bootsA few of the Ashcroft Rodeo Parade committee members, preparing to distribute the famous cowboy boots to local business, in the hope that everyone will drop spare change into them to help fund the Rodeo (or 2015 Carnival) Weekend. L-R: Richard Isles, Jordie and Jane Flaherty, Heather Philpott, and Jeannine and Bob Nishiguchi.

Constantia and Clinton Indian Band sign clean energy agreement
June 20 and 21 are shaping up to become a spectacular weekend for the people of Ashcroft & District! Since the 2015 Ashcroft Rodeo will not be taking place (for this year only), the Ash-croft Rodeo Parade Committee has been plan-ning a fun time for all of you!
The Ashcroft Rodeo Parade will kick off downtown on Saturday morning as usual. At 11 am, a wizard and a smoke-breathing dragon will lead the “Magic & Mystique” parade down Brink St. and back along Railway St., featur-ing dozens of floats, Rodeo horses, drummers, can-can dancers, magical creatures of all sorts, and bands. We are hoping to have the Seniors’ seating area again, and Joris Ekering will be an-nouncing the parade as it goes by.
As soon as the parade ends, there will be a “Show in the Park” at Heritage Place Park, fea-turing some of the parade entrants, some con-cessions, and lots of photo ops.
Once the show is over, everyone can go next door to the area between the park and the Purity Feeds Building (the bottle depot) for fun at the carnival!! The parade committee has sponsored West Coast Amusements to bring a midway to Ashcroft for June 20-21. Watch for posters and colouring contests.
Also, the Ladies Auxillary will be serv-ing their famous Baron of Beef at the Legion. Homecoming weekend will be full of action for everyone! See you there!

Constantia Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce it has signed a Clean Energy Opportunities Agreement with the Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band.
The Agreement is to jointly assess the possibility of using a Whispering Pines Clean Energy Project as a source of power for Constantia if its Maggie Exploration Project proceeds to the develop-ment stage.
“We are very proud of this innovative agree-ment, and the positive relationship we have with the Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band,” said Constantia President Stephen Hodgson. “This is the fifth agreement we have entered into with First Nations regarding our Mag-gie project and we think it illustrates how good things can happen when people work together”
Whispering Pines and Constantia will exam-ine the potential to develop a wind or biomass renewable energy project as a means to pro-vide sustainable economic benefits to the First Nation community. The Agreement lays out a framework for Whispering Pines and Constan-tia to work together to assess potential renew-able energy projects, meet with potential pro-ject partners and engage in marketing activities to source financing for a project.
The Clean Energy Opportunities Agreement builds on the Advanced Consultation and Cap-acity Agreement the two parties signed in June, 2014.
Constantia Resources Ltd. is a British Col-umbia-based mineral exploration company fo-cused on determining the extent of mineral-ization at the Maggie Project, which is locat-ed halfway between Cache Creek and Clinton. Historical data indicates that copper and molyb-denum mineralization exists in the area. Con-stantia is assessing the mineral resource poten-tial at Maggie, while creating employment, edu-cation and other opportunities and benefits for local people. Constantia is committed to con-
structive engagement with local Aboriginal groups. In addition to the agreements signed with the Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band, Constantia recently signed a Cooperation and Benefits Agreement with the High Bar First Nation. Constantia is affiliated with Hunter Dickin-
son Inc. (HDI), a leading Canadian mineral exploration and development company with more than 25 years of mineral exploration success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AN OLD HAYFORK left on an old fence
Dear EditorI understand many Ashcroft and
area residents are concerned about the future of health-care services and their hospital given the changes with our physician complement. Let me first say that Interior Health shares your con-cern. Our goal is the same as yours - to recruit additional physicians, strength-en primary care in the community and have in place a sustainable and reliable Emergency Department service at Ash-croft Hospital and Community Health Centre.
We have also heard that some members in the community believe de-cisions have already been made re-garding ER service for the summer months. I want to assure you that is not the case. We are actively recruiting for physicians and working to secure as much locum coverage as possible for the ED. Any changes to service as a re-sult of the physician shortage will be communicated through community up-dates sent to local media, posted at the hospital and clinic, and at key locations throughout the community.
Family physician recruitment and retention is a challenge across B.C. and across Canada, particularly in rural communities. As a result, we are dedi-
cating time and resources to attract physicians to the community; they are the key to delivering consistent pri-mary care and Emergency Department coverage.
With only one physician in the community, the adjustment made to ED hours in May was not a choice, it was a necessity. This decision was made in full collaboration with the community’s remaining physician, elected officials and the Wellness Health Action Coalition (WHAC) and one the group felt would ensure pre-dictability for residents, while also maintaining the wellbeing of the re-maining physician. Until we secure more permanent physician cover-age, we expect there will continue to be reduced hours at the site. However, what this will look like in the coming months is uncertain and dependent on recruitment efforts. We will confirm the ED hours for June later this month.
Interior Health continues to make Ashcroft a high priority, advertising extensively in physician and medical journals, through websites and at med-ical conferences. We are also looking at upcoming opportunities through re-turn of service agreements with po-tential International Medical Graduate candidates.
We are working with Village Council and the members of WHAC and discussing our shared role in recruiting new
physicians to the area. We’ll continue this collaborative approach in our ef-forts to maintain Ashcroft Hospital and Community Health Centre as a viable, sustainable community resource; we understand how important health-care services are to Ashcroft-area residents.
As recently announced, the Emer-gency Department hours for May are as follows:
Monday, 8 a.m. to noonTuesday, 9 a.m. to noonWednesday, 9 a.m. to noonThursday, 9 a.m. to noonWeekends: Friday, 6 p.m. to Mon-
day, 8 a.m. The only exception, at this time, is
Thursday, May 14, when the Ashcroft Hospital and Health Centre Emergency Department will be closed due to lack of physician availability.

Dear EditorWellness awaits you...or does it?
This week I led my students from Ash-
Ashcroft school needs sidewalks for safety
Doctor recruitment high priority for IHA
In case the reference in the headline leaves some of you puzzled, 101 stands for a basic, first-year university class, or entry-level lessons.
On the second and fourth Mondays of most months I attend Council meetings in both Cache Creek and Ashcroft. They’re held one after the other and normally I have my choice of the six to10 seats set out in the public gallery.
The subject comes up every once in a while, but this week it came up casually at both meetings - the subject of making sure everyone is able to take part in a Council meeting.
Local governments and their operations are already geared to public involvement. Any Canadian citizen and resident can run for office in a local election. Afterwards, all municipalities are required to conduct their business in weekly or bi-monthly open meetings in which the public is always wel-come to attend.
Thirty-some years of reporting on pub-lic meetings and working with special event committees has taught me that people will listen and get involved usually only when it involves them personally.
And then their first response is, “Why haven’t I heard about this before now?”
Truth is, the information has been out there, circulating, forever.
Still, there are those who feel that they need to offer incentives - money, prizes, better hours, etc. - to get people out.
The people who really want to be there will be there; the ones who are attracted by the incentives will come and warm a seat for the short term.
The best way to engage the public is to go OUT and talk to each and every one. Then show up at club meetings and public events and talk about it some more.
That’s unlikely to happen, because com-munity engagement on this level is a full time job, especially when there are so many other distractions to hold our attention.
Total community engagement is what we all dream about, but everyone has dif-ferent priorities, and not too many are will-ing to sit through an hour of government business, no matter how important.

croft Elementary School to the high school. I took a tumble into the ditch
while turning to check on their progress behind me. The sur-face beside the road was eroded and I stepped into emp-ty space and fell. I was hurt and required first aid to address the large, dirt-embedded scrape I sustained. This injury, both to my calf and to my pride, could have been avoided had a sidewalk been in place. Sidewalks delineate a safe space for walkers and, if properly constructed, deflect vehicles from mounting the surface. It is the only safe way to manage stu-dents safely on the side of roads.
With the amalgamation of the elementary and high schools this coming September, our community needs a sidewalk from the new school to the bridge. The extra vehicle and student traffic combined will create a dire situa-tion, and I contend that it is a matter of due diligence to take action before a critical situation with a child arises. A side-walk would not only provide safe access for students to the downtown core, it would benefit the entire community.
Safety, fitness, beautification. People with wheelchairs or scooters, young families with strollers, walkers with dogs on leashes, the elderly. Sidewalks are an investment into the community. Yes, it costs money, but grant monies could be accessed if the village is willing to apply and match funds. Yes, the village may have to borrow, but how many of us bought homes without doing the same?
Instead of hoping endlessly for economic development to suddenly materialize, let’s make the town a place where economic activity will be stimulated by the attractiveness of our space and the drawing in of new residents. Lets live up to the new slogan of our community.

Dear EditorWe are writing in full support of the letter submitted by
Patricia Kilt in the May 7th paper.At last someone with the courage to put down in writing
what a lot of us have been thinking.Our government with the support of Interior Health is
destroying our health care and our facilities. There is no in-centive for young families or retirees to move to a commun-ity without medical care or medical facilities. Speaking as seniors we see the writing on the wall and are starting to look for a new community where we can live knowing our medical needs will be met.
Every time I go into our hospital I see all the plaques on the walls and I think of all the hours of work that went into supporting the hospital, raising money and volunteering
time for the care of our citizens. All for not, as we are governed now by a group of people who don’t give a sweet damn about our health care.

Provincial fellowship and community workEight ladies were present at the May
5 meeting of the Zion United Church Women. President Reta Robertson wel-comed everyone and thanked them for giving of their time to the work of the United Church Women and the church. We repeated the UCW Purpose togeth-er.
Jacklyn Desrosiers led us in the Devotional taken from the book Earth Gospel by Sam Hamilton Poore. The scripture was Ps. 108:4,5 and Joel 2:21-24. Be glad and rejoice in the Lord – he helps all things to grow, trees blooming and producing fruit and grass greening again. She read a prayer by Chief Dan George who sees beauty in all things. Jacky closed with a prayer.
The agenda was accepted. The April minutes approved as circulated.
Reta handed out a format for the worship service the UCW will be doing on June 14. Parts will be assigned at the June meeting.
Many pieces of correspondence were noted – A newsletter “First Things First” from First United Church in Van-couver about their work – updates from Carmen Salacsacan our missionary friend – a new lot of Daily Bread book-lets for June to August and an address
for donations to help with the earth-quake situation in Nepal. At this time we paused for prayers for the victims there.
Reports came next – Colleen Mierau, treasurer handed out her fi-nancial report which we accepted as printed. Dorothy Pears gave her Sun-shine update; Phyllis Gray reported on Publicity and Hilda Drinkwater stat-ed the latest on Archives and said she had put up some new pictures. Reta re-ported for Outreach – many Campbell labels had bee given to Reta and a few used stamps. These items help with Christian work elsewhere. The labels must have the name Campbell and the bar code fully intact. Thank you to all who save these for us and turn them in. The United Church group will be host-ing Soups On June 12 at the Anglican church hall.
At this time we paused for refresh-ments and fellowship.
New Business – Lynn Lancaster and Jacklyn Desrosiers attended the BC
UCW conference in April and Jacklyn gave us an interesting account of speakers topics and time there. The thee was “what kind of house will you build?” and a guest speaker was the
Very Right Reverend The Honorable Lois M. Wilson who sister Marg Cum-mings and family lived in Ashcroft for a while a few years ago.
A new quick action opening door was installed at the entrance to our church hall so new keys were handed out to those who need them.
Our next meeting will be June 2 at 2 pm in our church hall and devotional leader will be Joyce Freeman and two ladies volunteered to look after refresh-ments. The meeting was adjourned and we stood and closed with the UCW Benediction.
If any ladies are interested in our work and would like to come as a vis-itor or join us you would be most wel-come.

For the fourth time, artists from around BC will be descending on Ash-croft to participate in the Plein Air Paint out May 22-24.
“Plein air” literal-ly means open air and artists will be painting outdoors capturing the beauty of our com-munity and the sur-rounding area on the Saturday and Sunday.
The event is growing in popular-ity and this year will see 45 artists taking part. “We have artists coming from north-ern BC, the Cariboo, the Kootenays, the Is-land, Lower Main-land and Sunshine Coast, as well as the Interior and we have 15 artists coming for the first time,” said organizer Jo-Anne Portman. “Artists are learning about our event through word of mouth and returning artists tell us that they are so impressed with the beauty of the area and of the welcome they receive from our community.”
The public is in-vited to the Show and Sale of works creat-ed that weekend on Sunday, May 24 from 6-8 pm at St. Alban’s Church Hall.

Daylilies are already a popular flower in Ashcroft yards and gardens
DSS welcomes new principal
Daylilies bring Ashcroft CiB and Desert Hills together
As many locals may already know, the daylily is Ashcroft’s of-ficial flower. Daylilies are not the lilies grown from bulbs as many often mistake them for; rather, they are rugged, adaptable and vigorous perennials that endure for many years with little or no care.
Daylilies come in many var-ieties and have beautiful flowers in a huge variety of colours. They have lush green foliage and many varieties are rebloomers meaning that they will bloom a second time later in the growing season. They produce blooms for a long growing period including during the heat of the summer, making them a perfect fit for the semi-arid climate of Ash-croft.
Ashcroft Communities in Bloom has partnered with De-sert Hills Ranch this growing sea-son for a daylily project. A highly visible location has been chosen at the north entrance of Heritage Park for a daylily garden. Not only will the new garden area add interest-
ing textures and colour to Heritage Park, but it will also be a wonderful showcase for our official flower.
Communities in Bloom pre-sented the idea to Desert Hills last Fall and a partnership was formed, with Desert Hills offering to grow several varieties of daylilies for the project. True to reputation, Desert Hills have grown some beautiful daylily plants and are presenting them in brightly coloured pots. Communities in Bloom have re-ceived the daylilies required for the Heritage Park project but they will not be the only ones to benefit as there are many more for sale at the Desert Hills garden shop.
If you are looking for a long lasting, showy and easy to grow perennial for your yard don’t wait to pick yours up as they won’t last long.
Communities in Bloom sends a big thank you to Desert Hills for their participation in this commun-ity project.

ON A BRIGHTER
NOTE
Missing dogs of the Okanagan Two weeks ago I wrote
a column about the in-creased dog-napping cases in the Okanagan. Since then two puppies were stolen and later returned to their own-ers, and four additional dogs vanished without a trace.I followed up that col-
umn with an online re-port aimed at the police and the media in hopes that they would inform the public about this under reported subject. The listing I compiled includes 39 dogs that have gone missing in the last nine months
that were abducted and retrieved or have not been found. I’ve talked to most of the owners of these pets. At least 15 of them were stolen, the rest remain a mys-tery.To some, this isn’t a
big deal. As the law states, dogs are merely property, and their theft isn’t considered any worse than that of a bicycle. To others, like me, this is devastat-ing, since our pets are beloved members of our family and their lives and ours can be deeply impacted in a
negative way when they suddenly disappear.I know this to be true
because our world has been turned inside out ever since our adored five-year-old cocka-poo, Charlie, went missing on March 23 from Glenrosa, West Kelowna, where we live. Since then I’ve been on a mission to find him, and that mis-sion has extended to the other missing dogs of the Okanagan as well.After looking through
the pictures of all the pups I was able to find still being advertised as missing, a reporter friend asked: “Are these numbers out of the ordinary?”Good question. Hav-
ing never known any-one to lose their pet for more than a day or two, and having
no concept as to what would be the norm for the number of missing dogs in an area of our size, I had to ask that as well. What I’ve come to discover is that it’s not standard at all.“Typically when a
canine goes missing it’s found,” a Kelowna dog control officer ex-
plained. “If no body or evidence of an at-tack is ever discovered, and the majority of the disappearing pets are sell-able purebred types or fighter breeds, it’s not hard to figure out they’re probably being stolen.”Gina Knutsen, who
manages the popular Facebook page Okana-gan Lost and Found Pets, agrees. “Nor-mally I’m posting pic-tures of lost cats,” she said. “But there’s been a significant spike in missing dogs recently. Hopefully once the public realizes there’s a problem, someone will remember seeing something and report
it so we can figure out what’s going on and stop it.”Many people, in-
cluding the mayor of West Kelowna just a few days ago, have wondered why anyone would want to steal a dog. Once again, this was a question I initial-ly had to ask as well. I’ve learned a lot about the black market for stolen dogs in the last six weeks and its ugli-ness is shocking.Not only are these
poached pets often sold to unsuspecting people who’ve been told a bogus story about the pooch being abandoned, abused or something of that na-ture, they’re also stolen for breeding, ransom and more grotesque motives such as dog fighting, lab research, revenge and the un-thinkable.There are other rea-
sons as well, such as unconscionable neigh-bours or pranksters who dump animals far from home leaving them to fend for them-selves. Unfortunately the criminals respon-sible for any of these abhorrent acts are rare-ly caught, and if they
are, the penalty is never harsh enough.Of course, theft isn’t
the only thing we have to worry about when it comes to the safety of our pets. We also have to be mindful of traffic and wildlife, and since it’s that time of year when hungry coyotes and cougars are look-ing for their next meal, it’s a good idea to take extra precautions.If possible, provide
your dogs with a fenced backyard that locks, and don’t leave them unattended if wildlife is a concern; don’t leave them alone in front of a store or in an un-locked house; try not to leave them in your car; and get your pets reg-istered, fixed, tattooed and microchipped.To review the list
of the missing dogs I compiled, google “Lost and stolen dogs of the Okanagan Lori Wel-bourne.”If you see any of these
pups solo or with a per-son, please take their picture if you’re safely able to, and contact the owners ASAP. If they’re on their own, please don’t chase, but do try to help them as you would if you saw a toddler without a par-ent.If you have any tips
on stolen animals of the Okanagan please call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880 or contact [email protected] Lori Welbourne in a
syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cottonwood House Histor-ic Site opens for the 2015 season today (May 14) and admission is by donation until the end of the month.
Cottonwood House, which is located east of Quesnel on the Gold Rush Trail to Barkerville, of-fers heritage interpretation, accom-modation and food to those want-ing to explore and experience the Cariboo and its rich history.
One of the last remaining Gold Rush roadhouses in British Colum-bia, Cottonwood House was built in the 1860s to offer accommoda-tion, meals and provisions to min-ers and travellers on their journey along the Cariboo Waggon Road between Barkerville and Quesnel.
“Cottonwood House continues to operate in much the same way as it did in the 1870s,” says Ed Cole-man, chief executive officer for both Barkerville Historic Town and Cottonwood House Historic Site.
“We provide meals, entertain-ment, and accommodation to trav-ellers on their way to and from Barkerville.”
In April 2015, Barkerville Heritage Trust reached an agree-ment with the provincial govern-ment to run Cottonwood House as
a Youth Partnership Project.Employing post-secondary
and secondary school students, the site provides valuable training in the areas of tourism and agricul-ture. Employees receive training in heritage interpretation and pro-vide tours of Cottonwood House, as well as develop and implement a wide range of programs and ac-tivities for groups of all ages, in-cluding school programs and spe-cial events.
Through partnerships, wood products manufacturing program-ming, a restaurant, gift shop, rent-al cabins, tent and RV sites, wash-rooms with showers, and an activ-ity building with kitchen have been added to the site.
In addition to the restaurant, gift shop and accommodation ser-vices, Cottonwood House’s staff of dedicated students and their super-visors provide tours of the origin-al 1864 Cottonwood House, farm interpretation, horse-drawn wagon rides, a wheelchair accessible trail system and more.
For information about Cotton-wood House Historic Site’s 2015 season, visit www.cottonwood-house.ca
In 1864 Cottonwood House offered accommodation, meals and provisions to miners and travellers on their journey along the Cariboo Waggon Road between Barkerville and Quesnel.
Historic Hat Creek Ranch, 11 km north of Cache Creek at Hwy 99, is already open for the season.
