Tumbler Ridge UNESCO Global Geopark Please see description of this endeavor on the Page Feed. What is a Geopark? The Global Geoparks Network is supported by UNESCO.

A Geopark is an area recognized by the Global Geoparks Network with geological heritage of international significance. The geology in a Geopark is linked to sites with interesting archaeology, wildlife, history, folklore and culture. Tourism industry promotion in a Geopark focusses on highlighting the geographical character of a place. Geoparks also inform about the sustainable use and need for natural resources, whether they are mined (like metallurgical coal), quarried or harnessed from the surrounding environment, while at the same time promoting respect for the environment and the integrity of the landscape. Compared with national or provincial parks which are often “top-down”, government-initiated projects, a Geopark is typically a grassroots, community-driven initiative that depends on local passion and “sense-of-place".

The Tumbler Ridge Visitor Information Centre will be closed Wednesday, September 30th in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is an important opportunity to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities across Canada.

It is also a time to listen, learn, reflect on the lasting impacts of residential schools, and continue working toward meaningful reconciliation.

We encourage everyone to take some time on September 30th to learn more about the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

The Visitor Information Centre will reopen with regular hours on Thursday, October 1st.
