Visitor Centre at Coq-Connector junction should be re-opened
KAMLOOPS — SOMETIMES GOVERNMENT just makes bad decisions.
The landmark B.C. Visitor Centre at the junction of the Coquihalla Highway and the Okanagan Connector was shut down in January, leaving the City of Merritt to take up the slack as best it can.
On Canada Day, the City unveiled a new mobile tourism information trailer as part of its efforts to fill the gap. The trailer was paid for with a grant from Destination BC, the same Crown corporation that shut down the information centre at exit 286.
