I am completely in love with British Columbia and every news about giving boost to BC Tourism excites me like recent announcement about Rossland and Trail area to receive $10,000 in funding from 2010 Legacies Now.

Trail and District Arts Council will lead the development of a five-year arts plan for the Greater Trail area using $10,000 in funding from 2010 Legacies Now and the Province of British Columbia to match funding from the Greater Trail region and the Columbia Basin Trust. Isn’t that a great news for Tourism businesses in the area?

The five-year arts plan will be developed and supported by local government, arts, culture, heritage organizations and businesses. It will better integrate arts and culture in the community, contribute to community and economic development and result in an improved cultural life for residents and tourists. Kudos to BC Govt. and 2010 Legacies who have invested more than $300,000 into 38 Creative Communities projects around the province, and $3.9 million in the arts overall through its contribution programs. According to Kevin Krueger, Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts: These projects will further boost the development of arts and culture in the province. The Creative Communities program is yet another example of the 2010 Winter Games legacies that are being shared by communities across B.C.
