After much controversy and many ‘years of hav- ing to answer..."°Why did you paint it green?”... the Chamber, through a special project ‘fund from. Tourism BC, is changing the colour of the Visitor ' Information Centre back to the, natural colour of a log building. This past year Visitor Information Centres, that are managed by local organizations and not run- by Tourism BC, could submit a one time local im- provement project, for up to $10, 000, to enhance. their centre. Around the same time Tourism BC was announc- ing changes in their corporate logos and colours. ° -The current colours of green, white and black’ will be changed to blue, white and yellow.

As Tourism BC. was dropping the ‘dreaded by : Terrace folks’ green, it gave the Chamber a. great . Opportunity to submit our. “special projects” grant. If approved, we would get rid of the green colour on. the logs and revert the building back’ to its natural colour. ' . As part of our special project fanding we were also able to order two more flag poles for the Visitor ° Information Centre. Currently we have two poles upon which we fly the Canadian flag and the Visi- . tor Information Centre flag.
