Hope itself is the original settlement on the Fraser River, a small town of roughly six thousand people set in the canyon between Chilliwack and Agassiz. It is where most of Hope lives and does business: the shops and trades on the town side of the river, the schools, the health centre, the grocery and fuel that the surrounding communities drive in for rather than travelling further.
The shape of the place explains a great deal about the businesses here. The canyon walls rise steeply on both sides, so the town sits on a narrow shelf of flat ground with the river running through it and the highway running beside it. Parking is tight, traffic through town is heavy, and a good share of what Hope sells is aimed at people passing through as much as at people who live here. A garage, a launderette, a pharmacy and a sandwich shop can all do very well in a town this size, and most of them do.
What you will find in this area is the everyday spine of the town: food and drink, personal services, health care, building supplies, and the trades that keep the older parts of Hope standing. It is worth a look even if you are only driving through, because the highway traffic and the local trade run through the same few blocks.
