The Village of Hazelton: Situated at the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley Rivers,  the Village of Hazelton remains quaint and charming. Its population continues to reflect a mix of the original Gitxsan First Nations people and the settlers that joined them.  It has a small town the feeling of 'old frontier spirit' and a comfortable remoteness that carries the feeling of being "away from it all."
