Fort St James is a small district on Stuart Lake in north-central British Columbia. The District of Fort St James runs planning and building permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement, roads, its water and sewer utilities, residential and commercial garbage pick-up, the arena and parks, and the Fort St. James Volunteer Fire Department. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is named as the contact for recycling questions; recycling is taken to the Fort St. James Transfer Station at 1521 Necoslie Rd. Policing is by the Fort St. James RCMP. Many things people think of as "district" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
