Minnekhada Lodge & Regional Park

A quiet lodge, a marsh, and a forest on the edge of the Pitt River.

We will gather here on July 17, 2027, with the ceremony and celebration at Minnekhada Lodge in Minnekhada Regional Park.

Minnekhada has carried more than one life. Long before it became a regional park, this land was part of a much older Indigenous landscape, then farm fields, marsh, stables, and a private country retreat. The Lodge was built in the 1930s for Eric and Aldyen Hamber, with Tudor Revival character, timbered rooms, a stone fireplace, and views across the surrounding fields and forest.

Today, the park is public: trails through cedar and fern, birds along the marsh, moss underfoot, and quiet openings to water and sky.

That is what drew us here. Not just the building, but the feeling of arriving somewhere calm, green, and a little tucked away. A place with history, water, forest, and room for the people we love to gather close.
