Cariboo Regional District
Cariboo Regional District, Regional district in British Columbia, Canada
The Cariboo Regional District is an administrative region in central British Columbia located between the Cariboo and Coastal mountain ranges. It consists of twelve electoral areas and four municipalities that together serve the communities across this large territory.
The region received its name during the 1850s gold rush, when thousands of prospectors arrived seeking fortune. These early settlements gradually developed into the towns and cities that exist today.
The district maintains strong connections to both European settler heritage and Indigenous traditions, with Indigenous groups representing nearly eighteen percent of the population.
The district provides services to all communities, including waste management, building permits, and emergency services. Visitors should note the region is large and mountainous, so having your own transportation is recommended.
West of 100 Mile House lies a network of multiple lakes that support local agriculture and outdoor activities. These waterways shape how the land is used and what people do there.
