Premier John Horgan has pulled the plug on a controversial 800-million dollar plan to build a replacement for the aging Royal B-C Museum in Victoria. Horgan says he’s heard quite clearly from the people of B-C that it’s the wrong time for such a project and they want his government to rethink its plans to protect the museum’s priceless artifacts. He says he made the wrong call and his government will go back to the drawing board to find a project that all residents can get behind. His government had said it approved the project because the museum can’t withstand a flood or earthquake — and renovations would have cost 300-million dollars more that a new building.
