It would be wonderful to encourage the businesses of Burns Lake to a face-lift. I have noticed many towns in B.C. are painting murals on their stores. What a wonderful idea for the town of Burns Lake. Just two examples would be Home Hardware and CIBC.
The small business es along the highway through and throughout town would be great painted different colours with murals as well. Perhaps the murals could depict the rich history of Burns Lake and surrounding areas.
Is there any chance the existing highway through town could be rerouted to prevent the main traffic and large trucks from passing through the downtown core?
Perhaps it could be built in a way that still encourages highway tourist to come in and visit our town and businesses.
We need to brighten up our town and make it interesting to existing families and tourists to come in an shop. I am sure their are some wonderful artists in this town that would paint scenes of the past on our shops...looking forward to the change.
