Hope Brigade Days is Hope’s annual celebration, which began in 1968. Originally, it was a community event meant to celebrate the end of a successful tourist season. Over the years it has evolved into an annual tradition that has folks returning year after year.

We invite you to paddle with us and a team of river scientists, an Indigenous cultural guide, historians and naturalists who will all share their knowledge and different perspectives of the mighty Fraser River.  Bring your own boat or hop aboard one of our large, guided Voyageur canoes. There’s something for all skill levels, and a motorized escort boat will keep everyone safe on the river.

Along the way, you’ll visit the gravel bars, side channels, islands, and riparian forests that make this part of the Fraser so important to fish and wildlife. Mark Angelo, founder of World Rivers Day, calls this part of the river the “Heart of the Fraser” in honour of the ecological wealth found there. The Hope-to-Mission stretch produces up to 10 million pink salmon annually, and hundreds of thousands of chum salmon. No other part of the Fraser produces more fish. In fact, 30 species of fish are found here, including the largest population of sturgeon in Canada.

As the population of this region continues to grow, it is increasingly important that we better understand and protect this incredibly important river.

Every Friday from June 7th, 2024 to September 27th, 2024.

Run for Hope is an annual 5K Run/Walk loop that starts and finishes at the Fraser Canyon Hospital. Participants experienced a scenic blend of road and trail running, along the picturesque Coquihalla River, through the serene Thacker Park, and back to the hospital. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a leisurely walker, a jogger, or even a furry friend-loving dog walker, this event caters to everyone.

Come on down to see the giant pumpkins! Take photos. Buy a blue pumpkin.
