My home - the mountain town of
Tumbler Ridge
Ahh, the beauty of pictures - each one is truly worth a thousand words, especially when you try to describe where you live to someone who may be thousands of miles away.
Starting high up on the Eastern side of the Rockies (midway north/south of British Columbia the Peace River winds it’s way to the Arctic Ocean.
During the height of the fur trading years, two warring Native American tribes held a council and settled their differences by using the river as a dividing line between their territories.
Diverse Region
The river was renamed to signify the ‘Peace’ between them.
Everything’s here! The prairies, the forests, the foothills and the mountains. From bustling cities to small towns to isolated settlements. The economy is supported by oil and gas development, coal mining, forestry and farming. Four distinct season range from long warm summer days to short dark cold winter nights.
