Daajing Giids, British Columbia

Daajing Giids (formerly Queen Charlotte) is a village on Haida Gwaii, off the north coast of British Columbia. The Village of Daajing Giids runs planning and zoning, roads, its water and sewer utilities, the volunteer fire department, emergency management and the municipal office. Garbage collection and recycling are run by the North Coast Regional District, which the Village bills for on its utility notices. No dog licence, animal control, business licence or building bylaw is posted on the Village's site. Many things people think of as "village" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
