Belcarra is a small village on the eastern shore of Indian Arm, about 1.5 km north of Burrard Inlet, within Metro Vancouver and surrounded by Belcarra Regional Park and Indian Arm Provincial Park. The Village of Belcarra runs its own bylaw enforcement and animal control, building permits and inspections, roads, snow and ice control, its water system and the Waste and Recycle Depot (WARD), where residents take their garbage, recycling and organics; there is no curbside collection. Metro Vancouver supplies the drinking water and funds the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, which serves both Belcarra and Anmore, and also runs the regional park and recycling and waste centre at United Boulevard. Policing is by the Coquitlam RCMP. Many things people think of as "village" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
