This utility box is decorated with several of the covers from the British Columbia Magazine: Land of New Horizons. The magazine was first published in 1959.

Over the next 20 years, the magazine played a major role in the development of today's multi-billion-dollar tourism industry, putting British Columbia on the map as one of the world's great destinations.

The background has large grapes clinging to the vines and shaded from the sun with large leaves. These most likely signify the numerous vineyards in the area that produce award winning wines.

One of the featured covers is of a young girl offering a basket of peaches, ripened to perfection.
