The City of Merritt has encountered aunique opportunity to obtain significantfederal and provincial funding to createthe Canadian Country Music Hall of Honour and Museum in downtownMerritt.The Museum will be a nationalmuseum. This project would solidify ourstatus as the Country Music Capital of Canada, and would be an importanttourist draw to our city. The Federal andProvincial Governments have pledged$900,000 towards this project;howeverit also requires an investment by the Cityof $300,000. This is a significant invest-ment and Council wishes to gauge thepublic's interest and support.You areinvited to a public meeting onNovember 12, 2009 at 7 pm at the CivicCentre to learn more about the projectand to cast a ballot indicating your sup-port or opposition.If you are unable to attend the meet-ing, but wish information, please contactany of your Council members.You mayalso indicate youropinion by telephon-ing City Hall at 250-378-4224.
Barriere’s replica ofStonehenge
In early October a town in theThompson Okanagan region receivednational news coverage for consideringa plan to build a replica of Stonehenge.Barriere lies on exactly the same 51degrees North latitude as Stonehenge,so some town leaders told the mediathat a replica would have the same ori-entation to the sun and stars. While thereare other replicas of Stonehenge, theBarriere version could follow the sol-stices and equinoxes the same as theoriginal. Town Council has set aside a100-square-metre area for the project.The idea is that a full-size replica of Stonehenge would boost tourism, help-ing to offset the economic hardshipfaced by the local sawmill. There isdebate over whether to build the replicaout of stone or pine-beetle- killed wood.
