[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

This year, for the first time, a coalition of 20 Museums residing in the
southern section of British Columbia are offering a Tour Guide featuring
their facilities. This southern BC route primarily follows Highway 3,
beginning with the Tashme Museum at Sunshine Valley and ending with the
Sparwood Museum. Along the way, RV parks and campsites, stops of interest,
coffee and gift shops, entertainment and service resources are identified.
The Museum locations, hours of operation and features are listed for each
participant. Each participating site has a unique QR code at the entrance
which, when scanned with a smartphone, will send a text message to the
host, indicating that the guest has visited the site. The guests
registering the most site visits will be entered in a draw to win $250 cash
at the end of September, 2024 and will be contacted by phone. The guide
books are available at the participating Museums as well as Visitors
Centres. A website is available for more information and resources at:
www.highway3museumtour.info This program will run from June 1st until
September 23rd at which time, the winner of the contest will be determined.
The host for this year’s tour is the Princeton and District Museum and
Archives Society. We thank Destination BC and the Tourism Innovation Lab
for their support through the Rainforest to Rockies Spark initiative.
