The Guide data is also in an Excel format and can be found by searching the DataBC catalogue at: http://www.data.gov.bc.ca.

TOURISM HARRISON RIVER VALLEY ANNOUNCES NEW IDENTITY and DESTINATION BRAND …In the Wild
TOURISM HARRISON RIVER VALLEY ANNOUNCES NEW IDENTITY AND DESTINATION BRAND …In the Wild FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 7, 2021 (Harrison River Valley, BC) After years of collective effort, the Harrison River Valley communities have united. Harrison Hot Springs, Agassiz, Harrison Mills, and the District of Kent share land with the traditional territories of the Sts’ Ailes, Seabird Island, Sq’ewá:lxw, Cheam, Douglas, Leq’a:mel, Samahquam, Sq’ewlets, and Skatin First Nations. The Harrison River Valley brand captures the spirit of endless conversations and highlights The Harrison River Valley’s landscape, wildlife, history, folklore, authenticity, passion, and diversity. Its essence speaks to “breathing and healing together in the wild”. We live in the wild. We breathe in the wild. We heal in the wild. Come as you are. Let’s be together in the wild. The wilds of the Harrison River Valley include lush vegetation ranging from the bounty of sword and licorice ferns and spongy mosses that line the forest floor, to Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars that silently loom like giants of the forest. Hundreds of plant species are rooted in the old-growth forest creating a sanctuary for insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The waterways surge with life, including salmon, trout and, the modern-day dinosaur, the white sturgeon. The salmon attract tens of thousands of eagles, designating Harrison Mills as the world’s bald eagle capital for the largest winter gathering. The Harrison River Valley deeply honours the symbiotic relationship between people and nature. “Tourism Harrison has marketed the Harrison River Valley region since its inception.
