Masset, British Columbia

Masset is a village on Haida Gwaii, in the North Coast Regional District. The Village of Masset provides treated water and sewage treatment, runs the Municipal Hall and Public Works, and has its own volunteer fire department. Curbside garbage pick-up is weekly on Wednesdays and is managed by the regional district (the Village collects the fee on its behalf); the regional district also runs the Masset Transfer Station and Recycling Depot. The Village lists a Masset Animal Helpline and pound for cats and dogs, and the RCMP provide policing. Many things people think of as "village" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
