The Mighty Fraser

THE MIGHTY FRASER

(A view point 87 miles north of Vancouver and near Laidlaw on the Trans-Provincial Highway)

Our past, present and future are linked with the Fraser.  The past saw fur-traders, the gold-rush of 1858, and early settlers.  The present sees waters teeming with migrating salmon and a highway and railways confined to the gorge carved by the river.  The Fraser, beautiful, bountiful and powerful, must always flow in the pattern of out future.
