Trekking Through History

A documentary on the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) Heritage Brigade Trail – created by Erick Thompson, supported by OSPS.

Filmmaker Erick Thompson explores the HBC Trail and takes viewers back in time. Originally a First Nations route for hunting and trade, the HBC Trail played a key role in British Columbia’s early development. Trekking Through History includes rare film footage taken in 1971 during the retracing of the trail.

Since 2009, significant progress has been made in re-opening this historic fur trail over the Cascades. Hikers and horseback riders can now enjoy a continuous wilderness trail that spans 74 kms, between Hope and Tulameen.
