TOPLEY


TOPLEY

Is a tiny and unincorporated junction community, 51 kilometers west of Burns Lake in northwestern British Columbia in the Bulkley Valley. The community is named after an early first settler by the name of William J. Topley. It is here that a highway (Highway #118) leads 50 kilometers to the former copper mining community of Granisle; now a retirement community, as well as an outdoor recreation center for 177 kilometer-long Babine Lake, a popular lake with fisherman especially with salmon, kokanee, char, and trout. Topley today has a store, gas station and small elementary school but is unincorporated.
