Welcome to your offi cial community guide for Agassiz and Harri-son Hot Springs.

The region truly is a strong community of small neighbourhoods, close friendships and big dreams.

That’s why we all love living and working here. From the soothing shores of the lake to the snow-capped mountaintops all around us, the area’s beauty is hard to ignore.

The small town charms are all around us, too. With pastoral set-tings and the Best Fall Fair around to mom-and-pop shops you know and trust, there seems little reason to ever leave!

But changes are all around us, too. The area is ever-changing, with new businesses and services starting up all the time.

We’ve published this guide to help you navigate the community and rediscover your own backyard. We also wanted to highlight the hidden gems you may be missing, as well as pay homage to the internationally-acclaimed highlights that draw in tourists year after year.

But besides being a mecca for tourists, there is a vibrant business community here, growing in earnest thanks to our hardworking Chamber of Commerce. Businesses are blossoming and the community is stronger than ever.

Learning doesn t just have to happen in the classroomOur community is fi lled with

opportunities to learn something new, whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, have an artistic — or all three!

Check out these places to visit, for a little outdoor learning at any age.

KILBY HISTORIC SITE The oldest building in the District

of Kent is at Kilby Historic Site, and so is the haunted Manchester House Hotel. Ask Kilby’s friendly staff and volunteers to show you around. You might be surprised at what you’ll learn about local folklore.

See the area as it once was, from farm implements and a fueling station to living quarters and the general store and post offi ce.

The site has several special dates planned each year, inviting the public to share in something as simple as the change of seasons. You could camp at Kilby Park or

pack a picnic lunch for the day. Visit www.kilby.ca or phone

604-796-9576.

CHEAM LAKE WETLANDS REGIONAL PARK

Spend some time at the Cheam Wetlands and you’ll leave with a better understanding of nature. Here, 93 hectares of marsh, lake and uplands have been protected as a nature park. The park is home to many bird, animal and insect species, including deer. It is unsuitable for dog walking, fi shing or boating, but the perfect spot for a picnic and a short hike.

Cheam Wetlands is 6km south of Agassiz. Take the east exit off the roundabout, following Yale Road to Elgey Road.

AGASSIZ PUBLIC LIBRARY Have a free afternoon? Try

getting lost in the stacks. The Agassiz Library has a full

schedule of activities throughout

the year, including a summer reading club for adults and children, Storytime in the Park and special presenters.

Grab a book, an audiotape, a few magazines or even a movie, and hunker down to enjoy a little free entertainment. For more information, visit them at 7140 Cheam Avenue or online at www.fvrl.bc.ca.

AGASSIZ HARRISON MUSEUM The oldest wooden railroad

station still in existence in B.C. now houses the Agassiz-Harrison Museum where you can see period clothing, artifacts and photos of pioneer life. Admission is free and the museum is open from May to September. The park itself is a beautiful place to take a stroll or stop for a picnic.

Visit them at 7011 Pioneer Ave. or phone 604-796-3545. See page 14 for more information on local history.

harrison hot springsagassiz andsurrounding areas

The Harrison-Agassiz Chamber rep-resents the business interest of two dy-namic and different communities: Har-rison Hot Springs & the District of Kent. Harrison Hot Springs, a small village in the big outdoors has been a premier re-sort destination for over a century and offers access to the largest fresh water lake in South Western BC. The District of Kent is the hub for agricultural activity in the eastern Fraser Valley and is the “Corn Capital” of BC.

They are a non-profi t, non-government organization with over 100 members comprising businesses, professionals & associations who have joined together for the purpose of promoting the civ-ic, commercial & Tourist interests of our community.
