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.
