Our region's culture and history stretch back almost a thousand years to the ancient culture and rich traditions of our indigenous peoples. The arrival of the European settlers marked the beginning of a new era. Today, we can still see the remnants of this rich intermingling of cultures. The region's many inter-connected waterways were key routes for the voyageurs that opened up the Canadian west. Their great legacy is still visible across this land. Visit one of our many local museums and take a step back into our rich and unique history. Throughout the year, the many communities in Sunset Country host a variety of special events and festivals. While on vacation, we invite you to enjoy one or more of these celebrations. The fun and excitement are certain to make your journey a memorable one.
