Chetwynd greets you with towering chainsaw-carved sculptures and wide-open mountain horizons, a community where resourcefulness and outdoor living go hand in hand. At the junction of Highways 97 and 29, it’s a natural base for fishing, paddling, and summer swims at the sandy beaches of the nearby Moberly Lake Provincial Park, while winter brings groomed trails, skating, and snowshoeing close to town. Local events and services are easy to track through the District of Chetwynd, and the annual international chainsaw carving competition turns Main Street into an open-air gallery.
Families will find solid education pathways. Public schools are part of School District 59 – Peace River South, with programs that lead into trades, technology, and university-transfer options at the Chetwynd campus of Northern Lights College. Everyday life is supported by a well-used recreation complex, an active arts scene, and a welcoming public library, with healthcare services anchored by the local hospital.
Careers stretch across energy, forestry, and transportation, and the town’s location keeps regional hubs within easy reach, including Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, and Tumbler Ridge. Housing ranges from starter homes on quiet streets to acreages with room for gear and gardens, making it attractive for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers alike.
