Where have all the signs gone ?
editWhen first arriving in Thornhill Christmas Day of 1969 I was greeted by a sign welcome to Thornhill when leaving Thornhill the following week there was a sign indicating you were leaving Thornhill. there was a sign entering Thornhill when exiting the old skeena bridge heading south and east. Likewise when heading south to the airport and Kitimat there were signs signalling leaving or entering Thornhill Flash forward 50 years at the new roundabout coming from the airport there’s a sign indicating terrace and Prince Rupert west also same sign indicating Prince George to the east just entering the roundabout there’s a sign indicating Prince George with an arrow pointing east both signs omit Thornhill why ? Nowhere is their mention of Thornhill on any mileage sign posts between Prince George and Thornhill. Interesting even though Thornhills population is greater than every community from Prince George to Thornhill except for Smithers which has a larger population. There is a dozen or more communities on this route whose combined populations don’t equal Thornhills yet they are recognized on mileage posts and upon entering and leaving each of these dots on the map. Also there are no large blue amenity signs indicating gas lodging food etc. These signs are in every community between Prince George and Thornhill a distance of 550 km. Why? It’s a snub to our hard working Thornhill businesses. When exiting Dudley Little Bridge heading east where is the entering or welcome to Thornhill sign. Why ? Maybe somebody from Department of Highways the regional district ,Terrace city council our MP or MLA could shed light on WHY there is no mention of Thornhill anywhere. Therefore in lightning the 5000+ people and dozens of businesses living and working in Thornhill with postal codes to reflect Thornhill as their home. Maybe the local newspaper could dig a little deeper into this matter. Terrace has tried to annex Thornhill several times unsuccessfully Thornhill is an independent and proud community of our heritage and founding fathers. the Thornhill family the Mueller family the Koeford family and many more pioneer families around the turn of the last century. Beer.52 (talk) 15:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC) makes one wonder what motivations does regional district, city of Terrace,Ministry of transportation have in not installing and resisting attempts to have signs installed recognizing Thornhill ???
