Wells, British Columbia

Wells is a small town in the foothills of the Cariboo Mountains near the end of Highway 26, known as the gateway to Barkerville Historic Town and the Bowron Lake chain of lakes. The District of Wells runs public works (water, sewer, municipal land and buildings, snow removal, ditching and drainage, street lighting and street maintenance), arranges garbage collection through a contractor, and supports the Wells Volunteer Fire Brigade. The recycling depot is run locally by the Wells and Area Community Association, and the Wells RCMP detachment handles policing. The Cariboo Regional District appears on the District's pages through its Solid Waste Management Plan and its building bylaw, which the District adapts for local fees. The District's pages show no local dog licence, noise or business licence bylaw. Marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences are provincial.
