BC Hydro is pleased to be able to provide the Brilliant Bridge Restoration Committee (BBRC) with $3,250 to help towards the planned restoration of the National Historic Site.

"The estimated cost of the project is $750,000. Through local fundraising, various government grants and corporate donations, we are pleased to be able to say we have raised $365,000 which is about half of the project cost," says BBRC Chair Lawrence Makortoff. "We would like to thank BC Hydro for their support of the project."
