Good year at the gate for Barkerville

Attendance at Barkerville rose over last year.

CEO Ed Coleman says 60,107 people visited the historic site this season.

That is up from 49,085 in 2017, a year heavily impacted by the wildfires, especially when it comes to visits from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

This year’s total was a little shy of the record 64,000-plus in 2016, but still the third most visitors in the past 25 years.
