[BCMA] Recommendations for outdoor interpretive signs and seeking a Quesnel Pennant

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Yes, Artcraft have several product lines to meet different levels of durability (indoors and out) and budget. I have used them for over 30 years. I visited one installation several years ago that we installed in 1987 and it still looked great.

Cheers;
Chris

The funding for the project will also enable us to install new interpretive signs for the water wheel (and hopefully for the boiler from the Enterprise, the first steamship on the upper Fraser.)

So far I have found suppliers in Ontario and the U.S.  I am hoping the list serve will come through with some recommendations of more local suppliers.

( The sites of historic interest including the Telegraph Carin and Water wheel in Quesnel were erected in the 30s  as part of this movement).  We are seeking a pennant from Quesnel for the exhibit.  If any of you have one in your collection which you would be willing to loan or transfer we would be most grateful.
