Get To Know Us

With some of the lowest commercial and residential tax rates in Canada, and some of the most affordable homes in British Columbia, Tumbler Ridge provides many competitive advantages to residents, investors and business start ups. As a well-managed community and one of the most financially stable in the country due primarily to our heavy industrial and resource tax base, Tumbler Ridge is well positioned for growth.

Incorporated in 1981, the town of Tumbler Ridge was carved out of the wilderness in order to accommodate coal mining activity in the area. Though still a new community, our lovely town of 2,500 people, bucks every stereotype of what a coal mining town should look like and be. Designed as a safe, walkable and family-friendly community, Tumbler Ridge offers leafy neighbourhoods with countless parks, playgrounds, sports fields, modern, well planned infrastructure and social and cultural amenities one would expect to find only in larger and longer-established communities.
