Quesnel Mayor Steve Wallace thinks something had to be done, because successive provincial governments have ignored historic sites like Barkerville, an 1860s-era gold mining town.
"It's about time," said Wallace. "They've been starving that place.
"We have actually made our own representations to the ministry in the past, saying 'Why are you doing this with Heritage Trust, why are you doing this with Barkerville? This is our life blood, it's the only anchor we've got in our region for tourism ... and you're killing it."

:My (editors) question for the mayor will be what representations have been made, by whom and when. I will also request copies of correspondence and dates the representations were made.
