Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
I
am
sure
that
every
mla
in
this
legislature
has
a
place
in
their
constituency
that
would
be
considered
a
hidden
gem.
That
would
certainly
be
the
case
for
good
sur
nature
park,
which
is
located
a
short
distance
north
of
prince
george.
The
creator
of
the
nature
park
is
jim
good,
and
last
year
we
celebrated
30
years
since
jim
founded
good
sir.
He
believes
in
following
your
dreams,
and
jim
did
just
that.
A
His
dream
was
to
create
a
nature
park
that
showcased
a
collection
of
canada's
plant
life
good
sir
nature
park,
spans
160
acres
and
features
over
2000
plant
species
which
jim
collected
throughout
his
travels
across
canada.
There
are
groomed
trails
to
view
and
learn
about
the
plants
and
each
plant
is
carefully
labeled
and
provides
visitors
with
the
name
of
the
plant
and
where
it
can
be
found
in
canada.
A
One
of
the
things
that
inspires
me,
the
most
about
the
park,
is
that
each
sign
is
handmade
by
jim
over
the
years
jim
developed,
the
trails
with
which
feature
the
different
species
of
trees
and
plants
from
across
our
country.
He
will
likely
tell
you
that
his
favorite
spot
is
called
little
good.
Sir
lake,
where,
if
you
were
lucky,
you
might
see
an
eagle,
a
beaver
or
a
muskrat
all
in
their
natural
habitat,
jim
began
by
homesteading
on
the
property
in
the
early
1980s,
and
he
worked
tirelessly
to
create
the
park.
A
A
I
have
visited
good,
sir
nature
park
many
times
and
each
time
I
am
moved
by
the
passion
and
drive
of
jim
good
that
resulted
in
this
amazing,
hidden
gem.
Thank
you,
jim
for
giving
us
the
incredible
gift
of
good
sir
nature
park.
I
too
hope
that
it
stands
the
test
of
time
and
gives
future
generations
the
enjoyment
that
my
family
has
experienced.
