FOREST GROVE

Is a small community located in the South Cariboo region of British Columbia.

The community is known as an outskirt to 100 Mile House, due to the fact that 100 Mile House is located just 10 minutes southwest.

The Forest Grove General Store features everything a typical grocery store can sell including groceries, lottery tickets, video rentals, and even an in-store bakery and a café.

Forest Grove is named after the town of the same name in Oregon, where Oliver Phillips, an early settler came from.
