The sonorous mating call of a Hadrosaur signaled the moment of official opening of the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery in Tumbler Ridge on June 27th. It originated from a complex musical instrument, played by palaeontology student Tyler Shaw, who is one of the Dinosaur Camp instructors for the summer of 2007. This moment was the culmination of years of work by the Tumbler Ridge Museum Foundation (TRMF), and its staff and volunteers.
Special messages of support were read out by TRMF President Dr Charles Helm. One was from the Foundation’s Honorary Patron, the Honourable Iona Campagnolo, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. The second was from Dr Jim Haggart, Chairperson of the British Columbia Paleontological Alliance. Mayor Mike Caisley led the proceedings, praised the work of the TRMF, and introduced the MLA for Peace River South, Blair Lekstrom, and the MP for Prince George – Peace River, Jay Hill, both of whom made strong speeches of support and congratulations to the community and TRMF.
