[BCMA] Ground Penetrating Radar/Sonar Question

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Bev,
As a museum, you can get discounts on equipment rentals etc. for this type
of project through CCI. I don't personally have experience with any local
companies for this particular kind of equipment, but I did a bunch of
research on which companies in the Valley did this kind of thing about a
year ago, and made extensive use of the CCI website in the process. It's a
good starting point, anyhow, even if you don't rent through them. Let's see
if anyone on the mailing list can give a good reference, and if not, I'll
dig out the list and see what we can come up with. Perhaps Dave or Sonny at
the Sto:lo Research Centre can help you out with this, as it's generally
those of us who are in the trenches (literally) who have to manage these
kinds of things. The other way to go, of course, is the Ministry, as Remote
Sensing fals under their jurisdiction. They ought to know! Anyhow, feel
free to call or email me anytime, and I'll try to help you.
