Looking to get outside for a local physically distanced activity to do with the family this weekend? How about a hike at the historic flume trails in Tsútswecw Provincial Park. We recommend doing the upper 3km loop by first heading across the foot bridge and walking up alongside the Bear Creek Falls. Be sure to tag us in any photos so we can share the beauty of the Shuswap with everyone. #Shuswap#ShuswapExperience#exploreshuswap#explorebc#explorebclocal#hiking#bcparks#waterfall#getoutside#nature

Call for Artwork! To celebrate the diverse talents and showcase the beauty of the community, the Chase & District Chamber of Commerce is planning to install a number of pieces by local artists and photographers around the exterior of the Chase Visitor Centre building. Selected pieces will be installed along the top border of the Visitor Centre, and will remain installed year-round. A directory of artists will also be installed outside the building for guests to identify the a...rtist’s name with their respective piece(s). In addition to having the work featured on the building and receiving a small honorarium, each of the selected artists will also be featured on the Visitor Centre & Chase Chamber’s website, and be invited to sell some of their work on commission at the Visitor Centre.
