The rise in urbanization has led to destruction of the natural rural environment in most towns. The Harrison hot springs community is an exemption from this generalization as it is able to provide a rural touch that is not over crowded and beautiful natural environs. Below is a brief outlook of this rural village.
This small community has been in existence acting as a resort village for a time period beginning about 1886. The hoteliers exploited this place and it was incorporated on the year 1949. The hot springs, which are also its namesake, acts as the main tourist attraction drawing people to relish themselves in the village spa resort. A series of hot springs characterizes the village and the content of sulfur goes on decreasing as you move northwards.
Geologists have made a note of a rock that is unstable above northern ends of the great Harrison Lake that is fresh water. The rock has been predicted to fall on the lake producing a wave that will be mighty to cause devastation on the town of Harrison Hot Springs that is situated on the south end. The time this will occur is still unknown but for sure it is not in the foreseen future and there might be some geological activities that may rectify this.
The population at this village has been growing steadily over the recent couple of years. The major economic activity is tourism which results from the springs. More than half the working population find employment in the service industries with the rest being divided in government, manufacturing, retail and construction in addition to minor activities in other fields. Apart from the natural hot water jets, there are no manufacturing industries on the lake.
In the year of 1949, the community corporation was incorporated to a municipality through an initiative of Colonel Andy Naismith. The community gets presided over by a mayor together with four other councilors. It acts also as part of the Chilliwak-Hope provincial electoral district. It is represented by the Canada House of Commons at its federal level.
Its closeness in proximity to Vancouver and Seattle enables Harrison Community to be the most ideal retreat throughout the year. There are numerous myriads at disposal and they vary from rock climbing, boating and fishing, exploration and skiing in this part of the rural countryside. Other than that, some few places boast of about four golf courses located only about fifteen minutes drive.
The resorts have very fine rooms with good beds and the hot pools make them even more fantastic. The staffs are very professional coupled with friendliness and willingness to help you around. The food is very delicious and though the meal price is quite high it is really worth. The gardens and landscaping that surrounds the lake are very nice.
