Prince George Railway & Forestry Museum

Ranjit Gill is the Executive Director of the Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum.  Ranjit was a former Rotarian with the Prince George Downtown Club.

 

Ranjit provided a detailed update to the Nechako Club membership this morning on the large new developments happening at the Railway and Forestry Museum.

 

The Museum is celebrating 100 years of Rail Transportation in the north, as well as the exciting things that are under construction, including completion of the house that was used for one of the section workers, donated by CN Rail.

 

The Museum recently planted a large number of "Fruit Trees" on the 8 acre grounds of the Museum, which are expected to bear fruit this summer.

 

A large covered "Gazebo" type structure is currently in the newest plans for the Museum.  This large structure will provide considerable cover for some of the Museum equipment and rolling stock.

 

This cover is currently being funded raised and the total cost is expected to be close to $500 thousand dollars.

 

The Museum is seeking donations from organizations and corporate sponsors to complete this worth while project.

 

Ranjit was thanked for her presentation by Past President Andrea Johnson, with another donation to our Rotary Polio Plus Program.
