At present, the Dawson Creek Visitor Centre is currently in the =
Historical Society's Station Museum. The two operate independently with =
the VIC renting space from the Historical Society. The Historical =
Society operated the VIC from 1983 to 2001 when the City decided to set =
up a new organization, Tourism Dawson Creek. At some point in the =
future, the VIC will probably get a new facility of its own, near the =
Museum.

Subject: [Bcma-l] Museums and Visitor Information Centres
Does your Museum run your community's Visitor Information Centre? Or, =
does your Museum coexist in the same facility as your Visitor =
Information Centre? I am conducting some research on these two =
questions and am interested in hearing back from the listserv.
I know that some discussion on this topic took place in November 2006 =
on CANMUSE-L, but hearing more would be very interesting. It seems that =
community museums may be leading the way in this relationship with =
tourism.
The BCMA has asked that replys to these two questions be posted to the =
listserv as this tourism topic may be of interest to a few of us. =
Please let us know about your situation plus the pros and cons of such =
an arrangement.
