On June 29, 2002, the Lac du Bois Educational Sign was unveiled with pomp and revelry! High-profile figures, including Kamloops Mayor Mel Rothenburger, MLA Kevin Krueger, and MLA Claude Richmond all came out and said a few words to commemorate this special event.
After hearing from many prominent speakers, the crowd was treated to a fascinating walking tour of the Lac du Bois grasslands led by Frances Vyse. The tour provided an informal opportunity to discuss some of the key challenges facing grasslands as well as a chance to get out and enjoy this breathtaking area. Thank-you Frances!
The sign was the product of two years of planning, researching, designing and fundraising on the part of the GCC and its project partners. It is our hope that the sign will educate and enlighten park visitors and grassland enthusiasts on the importance and diversity of grassland ecosystems. Judging by how well the sign was received at the ceremony, the sign’s success is inevitable!
You can view the signs at kilometre zero of Lac du Bois Road, Lac du Bois Protected Area, Kamloops, BC.
