I stumbled across this walk over the weekend and was blown away by some of the sculpture pieces. This is an easy walk with plenty of interpretive signs along the way. I really liked the Indigenous Camas preservation area the most

A fascinating look at an important part of Canadian history. The Centre contains a number of buildings, some original and some recreated from other Doukhobor villages. Very comprehensive displays about their history, beliefs, and daily life. A short drive and walk nearby is the suspension bridge that the Doukhobors in the area built by hand. Eugene in the office is super knowledgeable about his Doukhobor heritage, he really adds to the whole experience. One of the best Canadian historic sites I have ever visited, make it a destination if you're in BC.

A visit to this island via the suspension bridge and a visit to a replica of the house Zukerberg and his wife lived in, is well worth it. The bridge is good fun to cross, the trails are well marked and there are spots to sit, relax and watch the river's current tell you of the indigenous peoples who used it for their survival.
