 Mark Turner and Daniel Helm spend much of their spare time each summer looking for dinosaur prints. The two boys discovered an important dinosaur trackway in Flatbed Creek just below Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.  Did You Know Kinuseo Falls, located in the Monkman Provincial Park, at 60 metres is higher than Niagara Falls. Other attractions include a nine-hole golf course, recreation and aquatic centre, Sukunka Falls Provincial Park with good hiking and fishing, Gwillam Lake Provincial Park and Monkman Provincial Park (both have camp sites). |

After the recent closure of both its coal mines, Tumbler Ridge is set to emerge even stronger. The people of Tumbler Ridge have warmly welcomed new neighbours to their friendly community - from all over Canada, the U.S. and even Europe.
