BC Visitor Centre in Merritt closes
KAMLOOPS — A familiar spot for those travelling south of Kamloops has closed its doors after 16 years at the same location.
The BC Visitor Centre was located at the interchange of Highway 97C and the Coquihalla Highway but shut for good last Friday.
However Kathleen Harvey, Manager of Visitor Services with Destination BC, says from now on travelling information will be available to those who need it in downtown Merritt.
“Visitor Services has actually been provided within the City of Merritt at the Baillie House in downtown Merritt (across from City Hall) for a number of years. So, this change is really more of a consolidation of the visitor services efforts whereby we are working closely with the City of Merritt so that they are the providers of visitor services in this area.”
