Wellness Awaits You in the Village of Ashcroft. A small town nestled along the banks of the Thompson River with clean air, fresh water, locally produced foods, ample hiking and walking opportunities and affordable housing. We are often the official hot spot not only in BC but in all of Canada and shovelling snow only happens a handful of times each winter. The common feeling when you cross the river into Ashcroft is that you have come home.
