About Regional District of Mount Waddington
The area
The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) covers the north end of Vancouver Island, the islands of Queen Charlotte Strait and part of the facing mainland coast: about 20,200 km² of land with about 10,800 people in 2021. Port Hardy (about 3,900) is the largest community, followed by Port McNeill (about 2,400), Port Alice on Neroutsos Inlet and Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. Four electoral areas, A to D, take in the rest, including Sointula on Malcolm Island, Coal Harbour, Hyde Creek, Woss, Holberg, Winter Harbour, Quatsino and Telegraph Cove.
History
This is the territory of Kwak'wala-speaking Kwakwaka'wakw nations, among them the Kwagu'ł (Kwakiutl) at Fort Rupert, the 'Namgis at Alert Bay, the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw and the T'łat'łasikwala; the Quatsino First Nation is also here. Bear Cove near Port Hardy has the oldest known evidence of people on Vancouver Island, from about 5850 BCE. Finnish settlers founded a cooperative colony at Sointula in 1901 that broke up in 1905. The Island Copper Mine south of Port Hardy employed over 900 people from 1971 to 1995.
Services and access
Port McNeill Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department. Highway 19 comes up the island from Nanaimo to Port McNeill and Port Hardy, Highway 30 branches to Port Alice, and public logging roads reach Holberg, Winter Harbour and the west coast. BC Ferries sails from Port McNeill to Alert Bay and Sointula, and Port Hardy is the island terminal for the routes to Prince Rupert and the Central Coast. Port Hardy Airport has scheduled Pacific Coastal Airlines flights to Vancouver.
Land and climate
Port Hardy is wet and mild: about 1,770 mm of precipitation a year, mostly outside the drier May-to-September months, summer highs near 17 °C and winters around freezing with about 21 days of snow. On Malcolm Island the community plan sets minimum parcel sizes for a house on its own well and septic system and asks for water supply to be checked before new development.
Before you buy
Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Port Alice and Alert Bay handle their own planning, zoning and building. In the electoral areas the RDMW requires a building permit only in Coal Harbour; elsewhere buildings must still meet the BC Building Code, and an RDMW site permit checks siting against zoning. Only some communities have zoning or a community plan (Coal Harbour, Hyde Creek, Malcolm Island, Quatsino, Woss, Winter Harbour, Holberg, Telegraph Cove), and development permit areas can limit clearing or building. The provincial transportation ministry approves subdivisions outside the municipalities. Malcolm Island has a small Agricultural Land Reserve area with an 8 ha minimum lot size. The coast falls in provincial tsunami notification zones B (Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Sointula) and C (Port Alice, Coal Harbour, Holberg, Winter Harbour).
