The geology and geography of Tumbler Ridge have always played a significant role in the shaping of its history. From the prehistoric era of dinosaurs to the strong First Nations history, to the creation of the town itself in the 1980s built to accommodate the Northeast Coal Development, the lands here tell a story. Tumbler Ridge has some of the most important fossil discoveries in British Columbia, and you can find more information on the Tumbler Ridge Museum website.

Working together provides a unique opportunity to share resources, knowledge, and build collective skills. It also helps community members to have reliable access across the region.
