Tourism Season In Full Swing
The 2016 summer tourist season has begun! If you'd like to be a tourist in your own back yard this summer, be sure to check out the following:
Visitor's Centre - Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park:
After approximately a year and a half of work, the Visitor's Centre now features a new exhibition that includes stunning new visuals of the Nisga'a Nation, the lava flow, land, river and mountains as well as a timeline of the history of the Nisga'a Nation. The former exhibition has also been archived and developed in to a book for visitor's to view while at the Centre.
The Visitor's Centre is open for the summer season and is also the meeting place for the start of guided tours to the Volcano. Contact Steve Johnson of Nass Valley Tours by telephone at 250 633 2733 or by email to nassvalleytours@gmail.com.
