Prince George, B.C.- Anyone looking for a break from the heat, might want to think about   ducking into Exploration Place this week to check out a new exhibit.

 

The travelling exhibition “Profit + Ambition: The Canadian Fur Trade 1779-1821” is on display at the museum.

 

This exhibition is from the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau and it showcases the story of Canadian fur trade pioneers and the impact of the industry on the development of Western Canada.  

 

The Federal Government provided $15 thousand dollars to bring the interactive exhibit to Prince George.  "This funding enables us to bring an important part of our history to life and educate both visitors and residents about the pioneering spirit that founded the West" says Fraser-Fort George Museum Society CEO Tracy Calogheros.

 

It will be at Exploration Place until September 9^th.
