Hazelton is a small mountain community in Northwestern British Columbia. We are renowned for our superb landscapes that are home to some of the best fishing and hunting in Canada. For those willing to look beyond those qualities, they will learn we are rich in history with a colorful background of pioneer and native history. Local artists weave these elements into beautiful works of art that entrance tourists from corners of the world.
Hazelton, although lacking in certainly some opportunities available elsewhere with thriving economies, surely offers something unique to those willing to seek it out.
A common theme with one-resource towns who's economy dwindles is the desperate reach to tourism as a final revenue-boosting resort. Hazelton is no exception. I have seen this option turned and tuned several times. We have to remember that tourism is subject to change and unforseen events. In the past years, I've supported projects that can provide for locals, as well as tourists. It's been challenging, but rewarding nonetheless.
Great fishing
...and great hunting!
