Chainsaw sculpture of bighorn sheep on the Main Street in Hope in British Columbia in Canada
Hope is located at the easternmost point of British Columbia's Lower Mainland area. Surrounded by mountains, only to the west can flat land be seen, and that view is dominated by the broad lower reaches of the Fraser River. The segment from Lytton to Hope separates the Cascade Mountains and Coast Mountains, thereby forming the lower part of the Fraser Canyon. At Hope, the river enters a broad flood plain extending 130 kilometres (81 mi) to the coast and Vancouver, British Columbia. The Coquihalla and Sumallo Rivers rise in the Cascade Mountains northeast and southeast of Hope, respectively, and empty into the Fraser River there. Chainsaw Wood Carving Hope holds chainsaw wood carving competitions and exhibitions. From 4-7 September 2008 the Second Annual Hope Chainsaw Carving Competition took place. Chainsaw wood carvings are displayed and exhibited throughout the downtown core of Hope. Hope is home to a notable widely known carver named Pete Ryan who has carved a number of the chainsaw wood carvings exhibited in downtown Hope.
