Winter Programs and Activities

On weekends, revel in the adventures of the brave Voyageurs or hear how First Nations women enriched Fort Langley. Celebrate the stories of all the colourful characters that called Fort Langley home.

What better way to end a cold winter day than to sit around a campfire and be inspired by real stories of fur traders, First Nations and the history of our province.
