“To support the vision of a vibrant, healthy, sustainable quality wilderness
destination that retains the values and atmosphere that makes our region
uniquely CHILCOTIN”.
The WCTA has been involved in Land Use Planning for the last 15 years through
the Anahim Round Table (ART) which was the only CORE process in BC to have
consensus agreement with First Nations as signatories.
In the heart of Super Natural BC lies one of the last true wilderness regions of
the world. From the vast eastern reaches of the Chilcotin is Ts’yl-os Provincial
Park, the Redstone, Puntzi, Tatla and Nemiah areas. To the south lies Mystery
Mtn. (Mt. Waddington, the highest mountain in BC) and the Chilcotin and Coast
Ranges, with the latter being home to the most heavily glaciated sub-polar
mountain range on earth. To the west lies Tweedsmuir Provincial with famous
Lonesome Lake and Hunlen Falls (North America’s 3rd highest) and the Anahim
Volcanic Belt with the Rainbow Mtns. To the north lies the Itcha/Ilgachuz Park
with BC’s largest herd of mountain caribou and the Ootsa-Blackwater region
through which Alexander MacKenzie traveled in 1793.
The West Chilcotin nurtures the headwaters to such rivers as the Dean, Atnarko,
Blackwater, Kleena Kleene, Homathko, Chilcotin and Chilko. All support good
populations of rainbow trout.
The Chilcotin region is serviced by BC Ferries Discovery Coast Ferry (Route 40)
during the summer, by air with Pacific Coastal Airlines offering a regular
scheduled flight from the South Terminal at Vancouver Airport to Anahim Lake and
by road via Highway 20 from Williams Lake to Bella Coola.
This spectacular region offers accommodation from rustic Chilcotin through to
world class, all with our famous “Chilcotin Hospitality”.
