A few opportunities remain this summer to take a Bad Rock tour from Chilliwack.
The narrated road trips coordinated by Stó:lo Tourism are a unique cultural experience exploring Stó:lo place names and history of the people of the river.
Participants on the “downriver tours” to areas like Sumas or Chilliwack Lake will be captivated by stories that explain Halq’eméylem place names as told by Stó:lo historian Sonny McHalsie, with each offering their own educational experience.
Heading out from the Stó:lo Resource Centre in Chilliwack, the remaining dates for this summer are as follows:
In terms of upriver Bad Rock tours to Yale the dates are Saturday August 10, August 28 (a midweek offering) and Sept 28.
