The rapid growth in urbanization has resulted to the devastation of the once natural rustic environments of most towns. The Harrison Hot Springs community stands out as an exception from most towns and it has the ability to offer a touch that is rural and decongested and also beautiful natural panorama. Below, we take an overlook of this rural village.
This small village has been in existence as a resort community for some long time about since 1886. It was exploited by hoteliers and got incorporated in the year 1949. Its hot springs, which share its name, act as major tourist attraction whereby they come to enjoy themselves at the spa resort at the village. It is characterized by a chain of hot springs and the sulfur content decreases as one 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.
Over the few past years this town has experienced a steady growth in population. The economic activity is majorly characterized by tourism that is brought about by the springs presence. The working population is characterized by roughly more than half the population getting employment from the service sectors while the rest is employed by construction, government, retail and manufacturing as well as further minor activities on different fields.
Following an initiative of (Ret) Andy Naismith after World War 2, the corporation of this community got incorporated to as a municipality. The mayor and some four other councilors preside over the community administration. Its representation is done at the Canadian House of Commons at its federal position.
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 fine rooms and beds with the hot pools making them more fantastic. The workers are professional with friendly and helpful attributes. The meals are wonderful and the prices are very reasonable. The gardens and landscapes offer nice sceneries to the surroundings.
Make sure you have an escape to this traditional setting for a vacation and you will definitely find calm, relaxing and yet an exciting holiday. You can tag along with some of your friends so as to enhance fun through camping, skiing and exploration among other exhilarating activities.
