The BC Forest Discovery Centre has played a vital role in showcasing the history of the forestry industry.
But Chris Gale, general manager of the Centre, suggests the facility has not been as effective in communicating what is happening now or what the future will look like.
“Our mandate is to show the past, present and future and the newest (piece of equipment) we had was from 1978,” Gale explained at a gathering marking the official opening of the Centre’s Forests Forever exhibit.
Joined by forestry industry leaders, politicians, investors and supporters of the $1.3 million project that has been more than two years in the development stage, Gale called the unveiling on Wednesday “a momentous event” as the Discovery Centre enters a new era.
“We are updating and revitalizing our message and the new exhibit is just fantastic.”
