Mark Perry

Musician Mark Perry - July 2024

'A Mark Perry concert is like a Canadian roadtrip...

You’ll travel up the powerful Skeena river, face large wilderness fires, conquer elusive mountain peaks and tap into that feeling of loving or leaving the place where you live. Born and raised in Smithers BC, Mark draws inspiration from his love for rural Canada — the strengths, the struggles, and the impacts of the landscapes and the dramatic change of seasons. He tours and performs at festivals, theatres and community halls and makes every audience feel like they’re in his living room."

Fine Food in Fabulous Places!

Chef keeps us well fed at the Cassiar Cannery serving scrumptious meals but also sends us into the wilderness with delectable picnics!

Chocolate pot du creme along the shoreline of a beautiful river, surrounded by nature and listening to the authentic sounds, songs and stories of Northern BC.  It's an amazing trip
