This is ranch country. Come live the ranch life at Jandana Ranch. Do your chores and brush down the horses. You’ll learn how to communicate with the horses on their level. As a reward, you get to head out and explore the valley on the back of your trusty steed.

Be one of the 10,000 plus visitors that get their cowboy on at the North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo every Labour Day weekend. You can see, smell and taste the community pride in the locals’ handicrafts. For some excitement, make sure you take in the bull riding, steer wrestling and logger sports. Relax at night with family dances, cabarets and cowboy poetry.
