BELLA COOLA
Is a small community located at the head of north Bentinck Arm, an extension of Burke Channel at the mouth of Bella Coola river about 400 kilometers north of Vancouver on British Columbia’s remote central coast. Even though the last cannery was shut down in the 1930s, the community still remains very active with fishing. Bella Coola was linked with Williams Lake by land in 1953 with the completion of Highway #20 (Chilcotin Highway). Logging and forestry have also been key factors in Bella Coola’s economy. The mid-coast Forest District has an office located in Bella Coola. Before Highway #20 was put in place here in 1953, Bella Coola was accessible only by air and water making Bella Coola self-sustaining in its early history. Bella Coola is named after inhabitants of the people of the Nuxalk (formerly known as Bella Coola) Nation.
