New Hazelton

Built around the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, New Hazelton grew into a small service centre for the Hazeltons in northwestern British Columbia. The community stands beside the Bulkley River, close to its meeting with the Skeena, in a forested and mountainous region where transport routes follow river valleys. Nearby Hazelton is closely associated with the Gitxsan Nation, whose territory extends across the Skeena watershed. The ’Ksan Historical Village and Museum presents Gitxsan houses, carving and cultural interpretation. New Hazelton is also a useful base for understanding the wider Upper Skeena country beyond British Columbia’s main urban corridors.
