It all began with the Strathcona Discovery Expedition, that in 1910 set out to explore the area with a view to creating a Park preserve in BC. This journey culminated with the ascent of Crown Mountain on July 29th 1910, which could be considered the moment that BC Parks was born.
In July 2010, to celebrate this landmark anniversary planning is underway by the Strathcona Centennial Expedition Committee in partnership with BC Parks to re-enact the original expedition following Price Ellison's footsteps from Victoria via Campbell River through Strathcona Park to Port Alberni, including an ascent of Crown Mountain en rout.
