A $165,000 grant towards the Esplanade project including the overlook viewing deck seating area is appreciated by Trail — even if the project was already done by the city. “It is kind of unique, they are actually giving us the funds after the project is completed, which is particularly sweet,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs after Monday’s council meeting. Bogs credits Tom Christensen, minister of children and family development for taking up the issue of the B.C. Spirit Squares program after coming through the area and hearing what the city had done on the project. “A lot of it was due to his background work,” said Bogs. The B.C. Spirit Squares program is helping to create or improve outdoor public meeting spaces in recognition of B.C. 150, the 150th anniversary of the founding of B.C.
