The route received a newly designed shield and was given the numeric designation of Provincial Highway 113 in Summer 2006.[1]
The number 113 is historically significant to the Nisga'a. In 1887, a Nisga'a chief traveled to Victoria to meet with provincial government representatives, demanding self-government.[2] That didn't come until 113 years later in 2000, when the Nisga'a Final Agreement was passed in Parliament.[3]
