Museum scrambling after departure of forest group

The recent departure of tenants has put the Central British Columbia Railway & Forestry Museum in a financial bind.

The recent departure of tenants has put the Central British Columbia Railway & Forestry Museum in a financial bind.

Museum executive director Ranjit Gill said her organization is looking for new companies to occupy the seven offices they have available after the the Central Interior Logging Association left late last month for a new location in the former Northern Family Health Society location in South Fort George.

"It will be a huge impact on the museum," Gill said. "The revenue from the rental pretty much pays our utilities for the year, so we will be missing that, it will definitely affect our economics."

Gill said any prospective new tenants could benefit from the free parking, boardroom and kitchen onsite as well as the great scenery that comes along with working next to Cottonwood Island Park.
