- Anahim Lake, British Columbia
Anahim Lake is an isolated village in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The village and surrounding areas (including nearby Nimpo Lake) have a population of approximately 1500. The Ulkatcho First Nation has 729 living on nearby reserves. Every July, the Anahim Lake Stampede showcases local talent and is the area’s major social event. Anahim Lake supports three general stores and one motel.
One major industry of Anahim Lake is forestry. This industry has been hurt by the pine beetle epidemic sweeping through Western Canada. In the summer of 2006, the lumber mill of Anahim Lake closed down and laid off dozens of mill workers. Other local industries include cattle farming, sport fishing, and mushroom picking.
Anahim Lake Elementary Jr. Secondary serves 67 students from Kindergarten to Grade 9. The school has been in use since September 2006 and is set to officially open in September 2007. The principal of the school is Mathew Cullum.
