Actor Benjamin Ayers had an unforgettable time filming in the area and shared his excitement in an interview with Chilliwack Progress. She said: “To be honest, (Agassiz-Harrison) was one of my favorite movie locations. The people here are so kind; everyone is so nice…Of course, I’ve known about it my whole life and didn’t realize what it was, or just the natural beauty of this whole location and this quaint little (community), including Agassiz.
They work great for a Hallmark movie because there are so many locations between them that we can use. The background is amazing.”
