Tumbler Ridge

Tumbler Ridge is Canada’s youngest master planned community, with a population of 1,987. The major industry in the area is coal mining. The district has affordable housing, one elementary school, one secondary school, and one post secondary campus. Tumbler Ridge is a growing community thriving off its glorious scenery and humble small town culture. Each day is an opportunity to do things you’ve never done before in places that are unforgettably beautiful – see Alpine meadows ablaze with wildflowers, towering glaciated peaks, forested valleys, clear Alpine lakes and thundering waterfalls. Tumbler Ridge is the Waterfall Capital of the North! https://www.northernhealth.ca/our-communities/tumbler-ridge
