New Hazelton, British Columbia

New Hazelton is a small district in northwest British Columbia, between the Bulkley River and the Roche de Boule mountain range, a few kilometres from the Village of Hazelton. The District of New Hazelton runs local government services, garbage and recycling pickup, its volunteer fire department (which also does road rescue), the Erwin Stege Community Centre, the Visitor Centre and its water system, and its District Office also offers ICBC insurance and driver licensing services. The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine runs the Hazelton Waste Management Facility, the South Hazelton water system and the Upper Skeena Recreation Centre. Many things people think of as "district" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
