Northern Rockies Regional Municipality is in the far northeast of British Columbia, with its municipal office in Fort Nelson; its website describes it as British Columbia's first Regional Municipality, and there is no separate regional district. The municipality itself runs planning and building permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement and animal control, curbside garbage collection and the landfill, water and sewer, roads, fire rescue, the airport and recreation. Residents outside the curbside collection area handle their own waste disposal. The RCMP Northern Rockies Detachment provides policing. Many things people think of as local matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
