Did you know?

Hell's Gate

At Hells Gate, near Boston Bar, the canyon walls rise about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above the rapids. Hell’s Gate Airtram was specially-built to take tourists down to Hells Gate to see fish ladders and the rush of the Fraser’s waters. Learn about the Cisco Bridges at Siska, a few minutes south of Lytton.
Sturgeon Fishing

The Fraser River is a top sturgeon-fishing destination. These prehistoric fish are up to 12ft long and can weigh hundreds of pounds. Fishing opportunities are year round.

Sturgeon are known for their raw fighting power. They often jump clear out of the water up to 6 times in a single hookup. It's common to catch several fish in the 6 to 8ft range on a single day fishing charter. See more at Streamline Guiding.
Fraser Canyon

The Fraser Canyon is an 84km narrow rock gorge in the Coast Mountains. The Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways, and the Trans-Canada Highway carved routes through the southern part of the canyon. Bridges and trestles were built as part of the transportation corridor from the coast to the Rocky Mountain interior.

Commodore Ballroom

The Art Deco style Commodore Ballroom was built in 1929 by George Conrad Reifel. It's grand opening on December 3, 1930 in Vancouver was closed briefly due to the stock market crash. It re-opened with managing directors Nick Kogas and Johnny Dillias hosting dinner and dancing Saturday nights for $1 admission

This "best dance floor in town" had plush carpets and floor-length curtains. House bands played exclusively for years. Out-of-town performers included The Dorsey Brothers, Count Basie, George Burns, Rudy Vallee and Sammy Davis Jr.

The Commodore Ballroom hosts over 150 events each year, with over 120,000 guests annually. Read more about its history…
