Where have all the signs gone ?

When first arriving in Thornhill Christmas Day of 1969 I was greeted by a sign welcome to Thornhill when leaving Thornhill the following week there was a sign indicating you were leaving Thornhill. there was a sign entering Thornhill when exiting the old skeena bridge heading south and east. Likewise when heading south to the airport and Kitimat there were signs signalling leaving or entering Thornhill Flash forward 50 years at the new roundabout coming from the airport there’s a sign indicating terrace and Prince Rupert west also same sign indicating Prince George to the east just entering the roundabout there’s a sign indicating Prince George with an arrow pointing east both signs omit Thornhill why ? Nowhere is their mention of Thornhill on any mileage sign posts between Prince George and Thornhill. Interesting even though Thornhills population is greater than every community from Prince George to Thornhill except for Smithers which has a larger population. There is a dozen or more communities on this route whose combined populations don’t equal Thornhills yet they are recognized on mileage posts and upon entering and leaving each of these dots on the map. Also there are no large blue amenity signs indicating gas lodging food etc. These signs are in every community between Prince George and Thornhill a distance of 550 km. Why? It’s a snub to our hard working Thornhill businesses. When exiting Dudley Little Bridge heading east where is the entering or welcome to Thornhill sign. Why ? Maybe somebody from Department of Highways the regional district ,Terrace city council our MP or MLA could shed light on WHY there is no mention of Thornhill anywhere. Therefore in lightning the 5000+ people and dozens of businesses living and working in Thornhill with postal codes to reflect Thornhill as their home. Maybe the local newspaper could dig a little deeper into this matter. Terrace has tried to annex Thornhill several times unsuccessfully Thornhill is an independent and proud community of our heritage and founding fathers. the Thornhill family the Mueller family the Koeford family and many more pioneer families around the turn of the last century. Beer.52 (talk) 15:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC) makes one wonder what motivations does regional district, city of Terrace,Ministry of transportation have in not installing and resisting attempts to have signs installed recognizing Thornhill ???

Disputed - population and location description

The population in this article is being incorrectly reported. Actual data should be retrieved from the most recent census report by Statistics Canada. The most recent census report was published in 2021 and, as they are only published every 5 years, another will not be available until 2026. The population data used on this page should be only for RDKS Electoral Area E and should not include any other Electoral Areas. Doing so is intentionally misleading.

The location of Thornhill, BC is being misrepresented as Thornhill is located east and south of Terrace, BC. Thornhill being located to the west of Terrace would put it in the direction of Prince Rupert. JDogBT (talk) 01:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Across the river from Terrace is Thornhill on the west side of the Skeena River. Prince Rupert is N. West Making Terrace north and east side of the Skeena River. Terrace on the north and East. My information clearly shows the location on the provincial highway maps. 199.247.246.11 (talk) 13:56, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

The population of Thornhill comes from number of registered voters for Thornhill as published in the Terrace Standard newspaper in August/September 2024 information provided by the Regional District Kitimat Stikine (RDKS) 199.247.246.11 (talk) 14:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Please include sources JDogBT (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Sources are mentioned in my replies.The British Columbia provincial roadmap for location on what side of the Skeena River Terrace is on and Thornhill is on. Also it’s clearly stated in my reply. The population is provided by the Regional District Kitimat Stikine (RDKS)to the Terrace newspaper(5000+),August/September 2024.Where are your sources? You mentioned none 199.247.246.11 (talk) 14:58, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

I found this acticle published by the Terrace Standard in September that mentions a population of over 5,000. This article clearly states that this population includes portions of Area C. The actual population of Thornhill (Area E) can be found in the 2021 census, which is already linked. JDogBT (talk) 15:10, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Area C consists of two small communities (that were included for this bylaw)of less than 300 population in each. Regional district lists Thornhill as 5000+ people registered voters meaning the population would be much greater. The 2021 census you mentioned excludes Queensway for some reason I spoke with census Canada last year about this. 199.247.246.11 (talk) 16:16, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Please update your link in the article. The current link is for the 2021 census report. JDogBT (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
