On March 5, 2008 the Kitselas Canyon National Historic Site was presented with the "Cultrual Authenticity Award" from Aboriginal Tourism British Columbia. We received this award after being nominated by Naomi Gourlay from Kermodei Tourism.

For this nomination we to extend to Naomi our sincerest gratitude and appreciation. The vision for this cultural, tourism development is two-fold.

First, it will ba a contributor to the economic development of the Gitselasu, as well as the Northern region.

Secondly, it will be a mechanism for cultural development within the community.

In reaching this vision, we believe it can only be acheived by working in partnership with other interested organizations, and by adhering to our cultural protocol. Therefore, it gave me great pleasure to accept this award on behalf of the site, but most importantly on behalf of the Gitselasu people because it is about them and about the land.
