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.
Sun Peaks Health Association, a registered charity, opened the Health Centre in 2002 to provide medical and health services to the community. The Association had previously established a First Responders Team which now resides with the local fire department.Our present facility is a modular building consisting of a reception area, a physician's office, an examining room and of course, a washroom. We are fortunate to have a wonderful cadre of volunteers and physicians who staff the facility.
With the arrival of the CPR in 1885, Kamloops embarked on a period of rapid growth and development. The opportunity to work on the railroad drew men from all over and brought a new optimism to the community. While there was much manoeuvring for advantage by land speculators and businessmen, rapid expansion took place and a new prosperous middle class developed. With these men came wives and families and no fewer than ten social organizations were formed from 1881-1883.On Jan. 5, 1886, Kamloops Lodge held their first meeting and continued to meet under dispensation until a charter was issued, in the name of Kamloops Lodge #10, on June 21, 1886. This new Lodge was formally consecrated and dedicated on Sept. 6, 1886. It quickly became a focal point and meeting place for the social elite of the growing village. The hardware merchant, druggist, chief of police, doctors and lawyers found common ground here. They were the 'movers and shakers' of this frontier community. Their first meeting hall was in one of the out buildings of the old Fort Kamloops, HBC post, in present day Mission Flats
