Tumbler Ridge, a remote community in northern B.C., is known for its tight-knit and resilient nature, especially following a recent tragedy. Established in 1981 as a planned community to support the coal industry, it faced decline in the 1990s but has since pivoted to tourism and scientific research, earning UNESCO Global Geopark status in 2015. Despite challenges like wildfires and healthcare shortages, residents remain committed to their community’s future. Mayor Darryl Krakow emphasizes the importance of unity and resilience in overcoming adversity.
