Secondary planning areas in this region include the Highway 3 Corridor, and the Gold Rush Trail. This region is inclusive of the Upper Sunshine Coast in the west including Savary Island, the US-Canada border in the south, through Lillooet in the north and Manning Park and the Fraser Canyon in the east. The region includes over fifty First Nations.
