Find what you need

These are the categories I cover in Hope, each one carrying a live count of what is in it. The food categories are the biggest, which will surprise nobody who lives here.

Worth knowing about

This row rotates, and the places on it are the kitchens, counters and workshops people in Hope keep sending me back to; not one of them paid to be here.

Why this directory

About Hope

A directory is only worth anything if somebody keeps it honest. Here is what I actually do about that.

Hope is a small community on the Fraser River, set in the canyon between Chilliwack and Agassiz with steep forested slopes on both sides. It works as a service centre for the surrounding canyon communities and as a stopping point for anyone travelling through the Fraser Canyon.

The businesses listed here are gathered from public OpenStreetMap map data. A listing goes up only when it sits inside Hope's area, which means the location is right, but opening hours and contact details can still change. Confirm with the business before you set off.

Nothing on this site is a paid placement, and no rating appears unless there is data behind it that we can point to. Where a business has moved, closed or stopped trading, its listing is corrected or removed.

What makes this different

Checked, not scraped

Every entry starts from an address I can find, a phone number that rings and hours somebody confirmed. When a place closes, it comes off. Plenty of directories are still sending people to restaurants that shut years ago, and I think that is a rotten thing to do to somebody driving across town on a Sunday.

The whole city, not one strip

All 4 Hope neighbourhoods have a page here, Hope and Hatzic included, and every listing tells you which one it sits in. Most directories learn one strip of town and guess at the rest. The parts they skip are usually where I eat.

Free to list, quick to fix

Being listed costs nothing, and that is not a launch offer. Owners can claim their page, correct the hours, add a website, and I get to it that week. There are no tiers and no ad slots, so nobody here climbs over anybody else by paying me. My parents sold produce out of a stall, and I know what a rigged aisle looks like.

I'm a local

One person writes this site and that person is Hope Local Desk. I eat in Hope most days and I walk it most mornings, so the guides come with opinions attached. Where I would pick one place over a near identical one down the road, I say which and why. Where I have not been since the owners changed, the page admits it.

Neighbourhoods

Browse by where you are

Every neighbourhood in Hope has its own page, the waterfront end and the farm roads included. I use these pages more than I use the search box.
