Quesnel - June 8th

Quesnel is the beautiful central playground of the North Cariboo region of British Columbia. Located at the confluence of the Fraser and Quesnel rivers, it is a launch point for outdoor adventures, including mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, fishing, golfing, white water rafting, kayaking, sailing, and hiking. Many intriguing reminders of the city’s gold rush heyday are scattered throughout downtown’s 30 heritage sites including the original 1862 Hudson’s Bay Company Trading Post. From the world’s longest wooden truss pedestrian bridge built in 1929, catch a unique view of the Fraser River. Barkerville historic town is located 81km east of Quesnel. Quesnel’s ‘living history’ commemorating the rowdy era of the 1860’s is on display during its famous Billy Barker Days from July 16-19, 2015. Modern marvels will capture spectators’ attention during the bi-annual Quesnel SkyFest Airshow August 1-3, 2015. Enjoy true Cariboo hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere with the perfect balance of small city convenience, serene wilderness and historical charm.
