84C272 84C272 -- Canal Flats BC CAN - Canadian Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This brass tablet benchmark is well cared for, but difficult to spot. The good folks of Canal Flats have done a nice job renovating this building as their Civic Center, and we applaud them for not stucco-ing over the benchmark. But did y'all have to paint it?

In the US, we have seen where the benchmark had to get chipped out of the newly-applied and painted stucco, leaving an unsightly ragged hole in the building's new paint job -- to the the delight of NO ONE, except surveyors and benchmark hunters. HA!

The Canal Flats Civic Center is located at 8911 Dunn St on the eastern edge of town. The Civic Center is available for events and weddings, and there is a cute wooden church with a green steeple across the street.
