Hudson's Hope

Hudson's Hope lies along the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia, where a broad river valley crosses the boreal foothills of the Peace Country and has been reshaped by hydroelectric development. The small community grew from the early-19th-century fur trade, and its name recalls the Hudson’s Bay Company era and the river routes that supported it. Energy remains central to the area: the W. A. C. Bennett Dam upstream created Williston Lake, while the Peace Canyon Dam stands nearby on the same river. Hudson's Hope shows how settlement, industry and northern interior landscapes intersect in British Columbia. See how Hudson's Hope fits within the Peace Country by browsing webcams nearby.
