Smithers is northern British Columbia’s hidden treasure

Smithers, the hub of economic development, recreation and culture in Northern B.C.’s Bulkley Valley, is bursting with opportunity. The town serves a regional population of 15,000, connected to major urban centres by Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway), Smithers Regional Airport and the CN Rail line, which links the bustling Port of Prince Rupert to global markets.

Entrepreneurs, businesses and site selectors seek opportunities to grow and thrive, drawn by the town’s skilled labour and vibrant, growing community.  The local economy includes forestry, mining and exploration, healthcare, government services, education, retail and tourism sectors—and entrepreneurs are delving into the diversity by exploring cluster development and leveraging the region’s transferable labour base.
