Why a dinosaur museum in Northern B.C. may become extinct

A dinosaur museum in Tumbler Ridge is facing a struggle as local politicians and residents feud over funding, operation and development of the potential tourism gold mine. The town of about 2,700 people almost 1,200 kilometres north of Vancouver was once a thriving coal mining community. The District of Tumbler Ridge council denied the museum its annual funding grant of $200,000 last month, essentially leaving the non-profit, largely volunteer-run society with few options but to shut down.
