As 2024 winds to a close and we look forward to the beginning of a fresh new year, we reflect back on the year past. It was a banner year as we officially opened our brand new, accessible Harrison Visitor Centre and Sasquatch Museum, sharing the rich history of the Sa:sq’ets and the Harrison River Valley. We celebrated the Village’s 75th Anniversary and enjoyed a wide variety of incredible events throughout the year.

We thank you for your patronage, for supporting our local businesses, for being a part of our community, and for choosing the Harrison River Valley as a cherished getaway destination!

Here’s to a new year filled with unforgettable adventures, magical moments, good health, joy, and prosperity.

Happy New Year from all of us at Tourism Harrison!
