THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, Alexander Anderson and his small party of explorers walked through what is now a BC landmark--Rhododendron Flats. If you visit this historic forest--the northernmost grove of #California Rhododendron--you can walk in an explorer's footprints. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #HopeBC https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rhododendron-flats/

A beautiful place for lunch on the #CoquihallaRiver in #HopeBC as I travel home from a work trip.

Rhododendron Flats, in Manning Park, is the most northerly grove of California Rhododendrons found on the continent of North America. In 1846, Alexander Caulfield Anderson walked through the grove and placed a Rhododendron blossom in his Latin Bible -- it is still there today! #BCHistory #BritishColumbia #HopeBC #PrincetonBC #Hsitory #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rhododendron-flats/

Here we have the story of Alexander Caulfield Anderson's expedition by the Nicolum River and through the valley that was later buried under the Hope Slide, in the year 1846. Both events -- the expedition, and the Hope Slide -- are important in #BCHistory #BritishColumbia #Transportation #Explorations #Expeditions #HopeBC #BCHistory #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/nicolum-river-hope-slide/

@akurjata Additionally, #BCNDP #NewDeathParty #BCgovernment allows Blue Triton to operate several plants in #BritishColumbia & most citizens here have no idea that it's owned by #Nestle . They're using that name to try & avoid ppl getting angry about them stealing our #water to bottle & sell to unaware ppl. It is pure evil.
Photo is from their plant in #HopeBC - security gates & cameras were up everywhere so I couldn't get into property.

In 1849, Deputy Governor Eden Colvile travelled into the Columbia District by the Peace River, and followed the Brigade trail south all the way to Collins Gulch Creek, where the new brigade trails mounts the #Tulameen Plateau and makes its way south to Fort #HopeBC. #HBC #History http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/collins-gulch/

James Douglas talked about the Garden of Eden, which was on the Tulameen Plateau Brigade trail that led from #Kamloops to Fort #HopeBC. It was a beautiful piece of the trail, and at last I discovered where it was. #HBC #History #BritishColumbia #BCHistory http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/garden-of-eden/

Global News BC: RCMP fatally shoot man in Hope, B.C. hospital following highway crash https://globalnews.ca/news/9800728/hope-fatal-police-shooting/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #IndependentInvestigationsOffice #police-involvedshooting #frasercanyonhospital #Coquihallacrash #policeshootman #PoliceShooting #FatalShooting #hopehospital #RCMPShooting #HopeBC #Crime #Crash #HOPE #RCMP #IIO

How did it get its name? Hope, B.C.!

As can be expected, the name of the community comes from a hope being fulfilled for a surveyor charged with finding a pass. The community is also pretty famous as the filming location of First Blood.
