About Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako
The area
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) spreads over about 73,200 km² of north-central British Columbia and had about 37,700 people in 2021. Highway 16 crosses it from the Bulkley Valley in the west to the Nechako Valley in the east, and large lakes include Babine, Francois, Fraser and Stuart. It has eight municipalities and seven rural electoral areas, A to G. Smithers (about 5,400 in 2021) is the largest town, followed by Vanderhoof (about 4,300), Houston (about 3,100), Burns Lake, Telkwa, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Granisle.
History
The RDBN counts 14 First Nations in the region. Wet'suwet'en territory surrounds the Bulkley River, from Hagwilget near New Hazelton east to Burns Lake and south to Ootsa Lake; the Saik'uz, Nak'azdli Whut'en, Lake Babine Nation and Stellat'en are among the others. Simon Fraser and John Stuart set up the Fort St. James trading post among the Carrier in 1806, and from 1826 to 1862 it was the Hudson's Bay Company's headquarters for New Caledonia. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway founded Smithers as a divisional point in 1913, and farming and mining grew along the line.
Services and access
Northern Health runs Bulkley Valley District Hospital in Smithers, St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof, Lakes District Hospital and Health Centre in Burns Lake and Nats'oojeh Hospital and Health Centre in Fort St. James; its website lists emergency department status. Smithers sits on Highway 16 about halfway between Prince Rupert and Prince George, and its regional airport has daily flights to Vancouver. Highway 27 runs 50 km north from Vanderhoof to Fort St. James, and Highway 118 runs 50 km north from Topley to Granisle. South of Burns Lake, Highway 35 crosses Francois Lake by provincial ferry to Southbank. Forestry leads, followed by agriculture, mining and tourism.
Land and climate
Farming here is mostly cattle and forage: in 2021 the district had about 215,000 hectares of farmland, much of it pasture and hay. A household well in BC needs no water licence, though the province encourages owners to register it. The RDBN has a shoreland development strategy for lakefront lots.
Before you buy
The RDBN sets zoning for all seven electoral areas under Zoning Bylaw 1800, guided by its official community plans. It requires building permits only inside its mapped building inspection area. Smithers issues its own permits. Land in the Agricultural Land Reserve needs Agricultural Land Commission approval for most non-farm uses, extra houses and subdivision; check the ALR map. The RDBN floodplain bylaw sets building elevations and setbacks along mapped stretches of the Bulkley, Telkwa and Stuart rivers and Stuart Lake. The RDBN says pine beetle-killed timber has raised wildfire risk and recommends FireSmart design.
