Sunshine Valley

Sunshine Valley is a small residential community in the Fraser Valley situated between Hope and Manning Park along the Crowsnest Highway. The settlement features scattered cabins, tiny homes, and RV parks set among forested surroundings and mountain views.

During World War II, the location housed Tashme, an internment camp where over 500 Canadian families of Japanese descent were held. The interned community played a significant role in building and maintaining the nearby highway.

The Sunshine Valley Ratepayers Association organizes community events, educational programs, and initiatives to strengthen connections among residents.

The community provides year-round recreational facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds for visitors of all ages. The location offers easy access via the main highway and serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby rivers and lakes.

Cedar Lake and Sumallo River attract fly fishing enthusiasts, hosting Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout, and Dolly Varden species. These waters provide fishing opportunities in a quiet forest setting accessible from the main community area.
