The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport has announced approximately $129,125 in grant funding for the Village of Burns Lake, B.C., to install a new wayfinding system with informational kiosks and murals.
According to a news report from Burns Lake Lakes District News, the funding was part of the B.C. community economic recovery infrastructure program funding stream for destination development. Burns Lake Mayor Dolores Funk says the installation of the separate project aspects will come in stages.
For the murals, local artist, Steve Wilejto, completed the first mural last summer and has begun sketches for the design on the second one.
Kiosks are being built and will be installed this spring, according to Mayor Dolores Funk. They will feature new mapping to direct visitors to amenities and sights within Burns Lake as well as Electoral Areas B and E. Depending on where the signage is located, installation for the wayfinding signage will be completed by public works or the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
