Cariboo Regional District

The Cariboo Regional District encompasses 80,252 square kilometers of land between the Cariboo and Coastal mountain ranges in central British Columbia.

During the 1850s gold rush, thousands of prospectors moved to this region, establishing settlements that evolved into current communities like Quesnel and Williams Lake.

The district maintains strong connections to both European settler heritage and Indigenous traditions, with Indigenous groups representing nearly eighteen percent of the population.

Residents access comprehensive services through twelve electoral areas and four municipalities, including waste management, building permits, and emergency response systems.

The region contains multiple lakes west of 100 Mile House, creating a network of waterways that support local agriculture and recreational activities.
