Merritt mayor still hoping to repoen the Visitor Information Centre
MERRIT, B.C. — For many travellers, the Visitors Information Centre in Merritt was a natural stopping place on their way to or from the Lower Mainland.
Located at the junction of several highways and easily accessible from the Coquihalla, hundreds of visitors would stop at the info centre to stretch their legs, grab some coffee, or learn a little more about their the community they were passing through.
The Information Centre was closed in January by the provincial government due to funding concerns, but Merritt Mayor Neil Menard is hoping to make a case for the province to reopen the centre.
