Brigade Days wound up at Fort 91原创 National Historic Site on Monday with a piper leading historical re-enactors to begin the day.
Held over the B.C. Day long weekend, the three-day celebration, which has been going on for more than 30 years, was one of the few specific events tied to the province's creation.
At the historic site, an immersive journey into 19th-century life allowed visitors to wander through canvas tent encampments, meet costumed re-enactors, and experience the sights, sounds, and stories of the fur trade era.
"Over 90 per cent of the encampment itself is volunteers," said said Amandeep Johal, who oversees the volunteer site interpreters.
"Everything from their tents, the set ups, costumes, etc., belongs to them. They invest the time and effort to make this event a resounding success every year,"
This year there wasn't a fur trade flotilla of paddlers as in the past.
In 2025 admission to the fort is free with the Canada Strong Pass throughout the summer season, but this offer is only available until Sept. 2.
