| Bella Coola |
Bella Coola sits in a mountain valley at the head of the North Bentinck Channel. The community is at the end of a long, truly magnificent fjord, on the mainland coast of British Columbia. It is 500 km north of Vancouver and 450 km west of Williams Lake. Approximately 2500 people live in Bella Coola. The population is fairly evenly split between members of the Nuxalk Nation and people of non‐aboriginal descent. Many have Scandinavian roots. In the 1890s a wave of immigrants arrived from Norway, attracted by the opportunity to fish and farm in a place similar to their country of origin. Here, where the mountains meet the sea, you’ll discover a natural paradise and a community that extends a warm welcome to its health care professionals. |
