Area A (Nass Valley/Bell Irving): Highway 37 and Highway 37A at Meziadin Junction, looking south

Area A occupies the forested Meziadin Lake corridor in northwestern British Columbia. Here, the landscape is shaped less by an urban centre than by the junction of Highway 37, the Stewart–Cassiar Highway, and Highway 37A, which runs southwest toward Stewart and Hyder, Alaska. Meziadin Lake Provincial Park lies beside the lake, placing conifer forest and long freshwater shorelines at the centre of the area’s identity. This is a sparsely settled part of the province, where road travel connects communities separated by extensive wilderness.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
