Under executive director Tammy Morgan, more changes are taking place at the Cranbrook History Centre (CHC). The Paleontology Gallery will open this summer, featuring locally found trilobites; Teck Coal has promised to donate significant mining memorabilia; and the FW Green Clinic has donated early medical instruments and an antique x-Ray. New merchandise in the gift shop will include art and products from local artists and artisans. And ground has been broken for Phase 1 of the Heritage Railcar Preservation Building, a $4-million project at the CHC in Cranbrook. The structure is being built by Tyee Log & Timber, a Kimberley contractor.
