JADE CITY
Is a small tourist attraction spot on the road and a tiny first nations reserve located on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway (Highway #37), near the turnoff to the abandoned and ghost town of Cassiar, 115 kilometers north of Dease Lake. Jade City is made up of two seasonal jade stores that straddled along the Stewart-Cassiar Highway that are only open during the peak summer months, when tourism season kicks in. The stores offer jade mined through the Cassiar Mountains, as well as asbestos, and gold. Jade City is a haven for campers and wilderness lovers alike, with several mountains, lakes and park to explore. Jade City has some highway services and is named after the large outcrops of jade that are mined throughout the Cassiar Mountains.
