New Pathways to Gold Society receives BC Rural Dividend Program funding to restore historic Cariboo Waggon Road
The New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS) has received funding from the BC Rural Dividend Program to rebuild sections of the historic Cariboo Waggon Road. The Society received $54,550 for the initial phase of Cariboo Wagon Road Restoration Project. The Cariboo Waggon Road was a marvel of 19th Century engineering and a multicultural megaproject that defined modern British Columbia. It stretched from Yale in the south to Barkerville in the north, traversing 650 kilometers of rugged terrain. It was built by hand, with Royal Engineers labouring side by side with First Nations and Chinese workers as well as gold seekers from around the globe. The Cariboo Waggon Road Restoration Project is a partnership between NPTGS and the District of 100 Mile House. The project also enjoys support from the Cariboo Regional District, BC Parks and the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC. Hauka Creative Communications is proud to be providing project management and communications support for this project.The New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS) has received funding from the BC Rural Dividend Program to rebuild sections of the historic Cariboo Waggon Road.
