Integration with Terrace
Because of its contiguousness with Terrace along the Highway 16 corridor, many visitors and newcomers to the area consider Thornhill a part of Terrace. However, its government is an electoral director's seat on the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District Board and it is not officially represented on Terrace City Council. There have been discussions about developing a more independent system of local government in Thornhill (ie: Incorporation) or amalgamating with the larger City of Terrace. [ [http://www.rdks.bc.ca/pdf/minutes/MIN-09-05.pdf RD of Kitimat-Stikine Minutes September, 2005 p.5] ] Terrace and Thornhill currently share the V8G postal code FSA, 250 area code and most phone number prefixes (635, 638, 615, 631 and 641 in order of introduction). Although mail is properly addressed as being directed to Thornhill, BC specifically, Terrace is frequently used by residents and visitors alike.
Thornhill relies on Terrace for medical and policing services, as well as high school completion.
