History of Pulling Together

Now retired Staff Sergeant Ed Hill of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) was a participant and organizer of the well-known VisionQuest Journey of 1997 that took place down the West Coast of British Columbia. This journey included RCMP officers and First Nation peoples visiting the many First Nation communities down the coast of BC. Ed Hill knew the benefit of police officers working with the First Nation community and began to plan another canoe journey for the year 2001. This time the road traveled would be the Fraser River. The focus of the journey was to improve the police relations with the First Nation communities. The RCMP sent out an invitation to all the police agencies in British Columbia requesting participation in the worthwhile endeavor.
