Smithers, British Columbia
It may not be the most frugal or accessible place for a synod to meet but it is surely one of the most beautiful. Located in the shadow of majestic Hudson Bay Mountain in northern British Columbia, the town of Smithers was the location for the 2007 General Synod of the Canadian Reformed Churches.
