Hundreds of homes sit boarded up and rotting as the forest begins to reclaim the land. Much of the property is for sale but no one is buying.

Thousands of people lived in the Bridge River Valley during the early 1900s. They took advantage of some of Canada’s richest gold deposits at the Bralorne and Pioneer mines. Today, fewer than 60 people live in the town year-round. Many grew up here and don’t want to leave their homes.
