My neighbour is on Secwepemc territory. My house is one of the 3 houses in a row  built between 1904-1907. Prior to settlement the Splatsanic resided here where there was once an abundance of animals until being forced to retreat further and further away from developments. Behind my house is a newer school which was once all marsh land and today only a fraction of it remains. The Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in the small city all seem to enjoy the outdoor recreation the area has to offer including, fishing, hunting, hiking, snowshoeing, and swimming.
