Barriere, a small town of about 1900 residents, north of Kamloops in the Thompson Valley, has apparently seen the future of tourism and it's a direct link to a famous British landmark some thousands of miles to the east...
Barrierre town council is giving some serious thought to creating their own version of Stonehenge, mindful of their mutual habitation of the latitude of 51 degrees north.

CBC News-- B.C. town mulls Stonehenge replica
Globe and Mail-- B.C. town to build Stonehenge replica
Vancouver Sun-- B.C. town of Barriere plans to erect its own Stonehenge
