  Join us at Fort Langley National Historic Site this Canada Day as we mark Canada's 159th year by exploring our nation's complex history. As a vital early colonial trading post in British Columbia, the fort is the perfect place to discover the lasting impact of the fur trade and the diverse stories of the people who lived here.

  Explore Canada's fur trade roots with us through special presentations, live demonstrations, and interactive programming that highlight the lives of voyageurs, traders, families, and the diverse Indigenous communities connected to this land.

  We acknowledge that Canada Day is a time of varied reflection. We welcome you to join us in exploring our shared history with an open mind, respect, and a desire to learn.
