[ RV NEWS ]

Have you worked in Barkerville?
With 50 years behind its restoration, Barkerville would like to fill its anniversary album with photos of all those staff (merchants, contractors, maintenance, curatorial, security, administration or campgrounds) who have taken part in the efforts to keep the dream alive in Barkerville's ongoing operation. So if you or your friends or family have worked in Barkerville in the last 50 years (1958-2008) please send us your staff photos to be included on the site “Family Photo Album." Please contact Jody.Hunter@bcas.ca or robin.sharpe@barkerville.ca if you can help.

A space-making solution
365 RV sites may be available during the Olympics.
