The District of Kent is a rural municipality in the eastern Fraser Valley, encompassing the community of Agassiz and the surrounding agricultural lowlands at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. The district sits on the north bank of the Fraser River, with flat fertile farmland giving way to steep wooded slopes rising toward Mount Cheam and the Chilliwack Lake area to the south and east. Harrison Lake, one of the largest lakes in southwestern British Columbia, lies immediately to the north, making Kent a gateway to the lake’s recreational boating, fishing, and camping facilities. The community of Agassiz contains the district’s commercial core, including the Agassiz-Harrison Airport and the Seabird Island area, home to the Seabird Island Band. The region’s agricultural history is highlighted at the Agassiz-Harrison Museum, and the district’s proximity to Harrison Hot Springs — just across Harrison Bay — makes it a stop for visitors to the region.
