Fraser River Interpretive Walking Tour Signs
The Discovery Centre has a series of 23
colourful, fun and informative signs located along the Boardwalk. Starting at
the Discovery Centre a self-guided tour takes at least 1 hour. It is recommended
to allow for longer than 1 hour in order to observe and appreciate the River and
it's surrounding as you walk downstream.

To date, 23 signs have been installed, and initial projections suggested
upward of 40 signs could be produced on a wide range of possible subjects,
assuming that sponsors for them can be found. The program is entirely dependent
upon sponsorship for funding; each sign is written designed and produced with
funds solicited from a specific sponsor.
