PRINCE GEORGE – Barkerville has been in the news a lot, with its financial straits.

Before the doors opened on the 2021 season, the Barkerville Heritage Trust was pleading with the government, saying it needed $670,000 to operate. It did open its doors, but only through the good graces of private donors.

That’s why Cherrisse Reink is jumping in.

“I am doing a GoFundMe page. it’s all over Facebook right now,” explains Reink, who is an avid supporter of Barkerville. “I’m also doing a bottle drive right now. I’m putting flyers around town, just trying to get the word out there to bring awareness of what’s going on.”
