Mackenzie

Among the communities of northern British Columbia, Mackenzie stands out for its 1960s creation as a planned forestry town in the Rocky Mountain Trench. It lies near Williston Lake, the vast reservoir formed by the W. A. C. Bennett Dam on the Peace River; the Parsnip River flows into its northern reaches. Established in 1966 to serve the regional forest industry, Mackenzie retains a working identity shaped by timber production. Extensive forest, lake country and mountainous terrain around the settlement convey the scale of British Columbia’s northern interior.
