House of Ancestors to receive $300,000 from Ministry of Tourism

The House of Ancestors has been selected as one of 31 recipients of a one-time grant from the provincial government.

The money comes from the Destination Development Fund, the total amount they are giving out provincially is nearly $15 million.

“British Columbia is a world-class destination and tourism is one of the province’s greatest economic drivers,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “The past three years have been incredibly challenging for people in the tourism industry, especially after years of economic uncertainty and extreme weather events like the recent wildfires. Investing in tourism infrastructure supports the tourism sector, the people who work in it, and is helping to create vibrant communities for all British Columbians and visitors.”

According to the province, the funding to the House of Ancestors will go towards new equipment in the building and upgrades to the building itself.
