Bear River Info Centre Being Moved

End of an Era : The Bear River WindmillPosted on May 19, 2010 by Bear River Board of Trade On Monday, May 17, 2010, The Bear River Board of Trade held a public meeting to discuss the current state of the Bear River Visitor Information building, otherwise known as “the Windmill”. Over 35 people attended including representatives from the Bear River Economic Development Society, the Bear River Historical Society, the Oakdene Centre, the Bear River Legion, Bear River Studio Tour brochure group and local business owners.

During the course of recent Windmill restoration efforts, the Board of Trade discovered evidence of advanced structural deterioration that posed a severe public health and safety risk. Details of these findings were presented in a slide show presentation at Monday night’s meeting, and followed with a very open and productive community round table discussion to decide next steps.



It was collectively agreed by those in attendance that our beloved Windmill building was beyond the point of repair and therefore no further resources should be spent on restoration efforts.

The Visitor Information Centre will be relocated to another building this season, perhaps the Oakdene Centre.

We thank B.R.E.D.S and the Oakdene Centre for their ongoing support while we sort out the logistics of providing quality visitor services in the village for the upcoming tourist season.
