About Central Coast Regional District
The area
The Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) covers about 24,400 km² of BC's mainland coast and had about 3,580 people in 2021. It is mostly temperate rainforest, inlets, islands and glaciated mountains, with no municipalities, only electoral areas and reserves. The Bella Coola Valley (Electoral Areas C, D and E) runs inland from Bella Coola at the head of North Bentinck Arm through Hagensborg to Stuie. The largest communities in 2021 were the Bella Bella (about 1,190) and Bella Coola (about 940) reserves.
History
The district lies within the overlapping territories of the Nuxalk, Heiltsuk, Wuikinuxv, Kitasoo/Xai'xais and Ulkatcho nations; the Nuxalkmc lived in the valley for thousands of years before Europeans came. About 80 Norwegian settlers from Minnesota arrived in 1894, each offered 160 acres once cleared and built on, and founded Hagensborg. Ocean Falls, at the head of Cousins Inlet, grew around a pulp and paper mill to about 3,000 people by 1966; the mill closed in the 1970s.
Services and access
Bella Coola General Hospital serves the valley and the ƛ̓uxválásu̓ilas Heiltsuk Hospital (formerly R.W. Large Memorial) serves Bella Bella. Highway 20, partly gravel, climbs east toward Anahim Lake and Williams Lake; its stretch called the Hill drops more than 1,200 m in 16 km on grades up to 18% and is passable all year. BC Ferries' Northern Sea Wolf links Bella Coola with Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. Pacific Coastal Airlines flies to Bella Coola and Bella Bella from Vancouver.
Land and climate
The Bella Coola Valley is on a BC Hydro microgrid separate from the provincial grid, fed by the Clayton Falls run-of-river plant and diesel. River floods come mostly in fall and early winter after days of heavy rain, and even mild ones can cover parts of Highway 20. A new lot must show drinking water, from a community system or proof of enough groundwater.
Before you buy
The CCRD's zoning bylaw, official community plan and subdivision servicing bylaw apply in the Bella Coola Valley; the plan excludes Provincial Forest Crown land and Nuxalk reserves. Zoning keeps buildings 120 m from the Bella Coola River in most places and 15 m from other streams, and sets minimum floor heights above flood level. Agricultural Land Reserve land needs Agricultural Land Commission approval to subdivide or for non-farm uses. The CCRD's Bella Coola emergency plan names flooding the most frequent serious emergency, notes that much land outside the floodplain sits on creek alluvial fans, and warns of landslides, avalanches and debris flows on steep slopes. It also places nearly every valley home in the wildland-urban interface fire zone.
