Old Trees Part of New Tourism Plan
Prince George, B.C.- The 2,000 year old trees in the Ancient Forest, about 70 miles east of Prince George, are on the list of “100 BC Moments”, a new tourism marketing plan now underway in key markets across the continent. Barkerville and the Forestry and Railway Museum are also featured in the campaign.
The ‘100 BC Moments’ campaign features tourism products that are B.C.’s competitive advantage and of highest interest to target audiences ( Torontoo, Los Angelese and San Francisco): city experiences, touring, Aboriginal tourism and outdoor adventure.
To launch the campaign in San Francisco, Tourism BC placed a giant vending machine in the heart of the financial district for three days. The BC Moments Machine played videos to showcase B.C.’s diverse experiences and gave San Franciscans a chance to walk away with mementos to get them excited about travelling to British Columbia.
In three days, the machine dispensed 325 mementos and 7,000 BC Moments postcards were handed out to the crowd of onlookers in San Francisco.
The campaign also features ‘BC’s Perfect Moments’, a contest that offers people a chance to win a personalized B.C. vacation worth $20,000. You can find out more about the contest and how to enter , by clicking here.

Torontoo and Los Angelese, eh?? … ;-)
HaHa…..thats how Bob Dylan pronounced it…..Los Angelese……
It goes to show how important the Inland Rainforest east of Prince George is the Liberals have to stop logging all the old-growth forest in the Robson Valley that what the Forest Practices Board has said to this government and they continue to log these ancient trees for 25 cents each.Shame!
I am not understanding you Morg. Are you trying to tell me that if they got $1,000 a tree that it would be okay to harvest the old growth trees?
