Alexis Creek officially welcomes its' new Tourism Center & Remembrance Day Plaque

At 12:00pm Monday, the Alexis Creek community along with the Alexis Creek RCMP and CRD Area 'K' Director Rick Mumford gathered together to celebrate the grand opening of both the Chilcotin Tourism Center and the dedication of a Remembrance Day plaque

The dedication of the Remembrance Day plaque included the playing of the "Last Post" and a native smudging ceremony and the reciting of a prayer

As for the grand opening of the Chilcotin Tourism Center, it will be manned by volunteers and it'll be open from May 15th - Oct 15th from 9am - 5pm, 7 days a week. Access to Internet and Sani-services is by donation. Pioneer Log Homes donated benches for tourists to sit on. The site is 100% accessible to all. I encourage anyone passing through Alexis Creek to stop in at this site, the time spent there will be fully worth it. I was disappointed that no City of Williams Lake Elected Officials were there. It would have sent the message - "We care about the successes of our rural neighbours"
