Heritage Society Welcomes Visitors with Info Booth

Fraser Mills British Columbia - What's new is coming from an old place, as the Coquitlam Heritage Society pulls out the welcome wagon to offer a tourist information booth.
 
Officially opened Tuesday, the information booth has been located in the historic location of the original Fraser Mills railway station, at Heritage Square, 1116 Brunette Ave. in Coquitlam.
 
Visitors will be greeted by two summer students, Raleigh and Jenny, and the booth will be stocked full with information to promote tourism both locally and provincially.
 
"We welcome so many visitors at Mackin House Museum during the summer months, opening a tourist information booth is a natural way to extend our services to the City of Coquitlam, our local residents, and our visitors," said Jill Cook, society executive director.
 
Whether Coquitlam residents are expecting guests from out of town or looking for some "stay-cation" tips, drop by for information and services in English, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Portugese.
 
The Coquitlam Heritage Society is currently housed in historic Mackin House, built in 1909 to provide a home for some of the most prominent members of the rapidly growing Fraser Mills Company.
