Northern Rockies Regional Municipality

The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (NRRM), formerly the Northern Rockies Regional District (NRRD),[6] and before that the Fort Nelson–Liard Regional District, is a single-tier municipality in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Although described as a regional municipality in its official name, and existing on the same administrative level as a regional district, it is actually classified as a district municipality.[1] The NRRM's offices are located in Fort Nelson, formerly an incorporated town that amalgamated with the NRRD on February 6, 2009, to form the NRRM.[7][8] The Peace River-Liard Regional District was incorporated on 31 October 1967. On 22 October 1987, it was split to create the Peace River Regional District and the Fort Nelson-Liard Regional District. On 26 March 1999, the Fort Nelson-Liard Regional District was renamed Northern Rockies Regional District. On 6 February 2009, the Northern Rockies Regional District was amalgamated with the Town of Fort Nelson and named as the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality. With the Peace River Regional District as the southern part, it was the northern part of the Peace River-Liard Regional District, which was split into two on October 31, 1987. The NRRM lies on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains and comprises approximately 10% of the total area of the province of British Columbia, encompassing 85,014.52 square kilometres (32,824.29 sq mi).[3] Its southern boundary is the 58th parallel of latitude[6] and is bisected by the Alaska Highway from its southeast to its northwest. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality is primarily made up of heavily forested areas and mountainous terrain. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality is the first of its kind in British Columbia in which an entire former regional district is governed and headed by a single municipal government. Its council comprises a mayor and six councillors. Bill Streeper was the NRRM's first mayor.
