Established in June 1966, the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) stretches from Keta Lake to Brooks Peninsula to Cape Scott on Northern Vancouver Island, and reaches from Cape Caution up to the birthplace of the Klinaklini River and back down to Johnstone Strait on BC’s rugged mainland coast. Deep coastal fjords, glacier fields, long wide valleys, rugged mountains, picturesque lakes, pristine coastal beaches, and remote islands encompass the breathtaking wilderness of the area and create the world’s top quality outdoor adventurists’ paradise!
The RDMW encompasses a number of unincorporated communities such as Coal Harbour, Hyde Creek, Holberg, Sointula, Winter Harbour, Telegraph Cove, and Quatsino. The RDMW also encompasses the municipalities of Alert Bay, Port Alice, Port Hardy, and Port McNeill.
