Vaderhoof, B.C. - The Federal Government has  provided funding to Vanderhoof for two projects. One  will help revitalize Vanderhoof's downtown core the other will  help draw more tourists to the area.

A federal investment of $340,000 will help the District of Vanderhoof improve infrastructure and beautify the community's downtown core. Work will include new and improved sidewalks, street lights, landscaping, catch basins and telephone lines.

An additional investment of $80,000 will support the District to study the construction of, and develop a business plan for, the White Sturgeon Interpretive Centre. This tourist attraction would complement the planned Nechako White Sturgeon Recovery Facility.

"These two contributions will play a large role in helping our community to diversify our economy through the upgrading of our downtown core and developing, in partnership with the Saik'uz First Nations, an Interpretive Centre," said Mayor Len Fox. "We expect the projects will play a key role in Vanderhoof's Tourist strategy."
