Smithers Marks 100 Years Since Becoming BC’s First Incorporated Village

Last Thursday marked the 100 year anniversary of Smithers becoming the first incorporated village in British Columbia.

To honour the momentous occasion, a plaque is set to be hung at Town Hall, alongside a framed copy of the “Letters Patent”.

In the announcement, the Town also gave a mention to the 100 year long cooperation with the Wet’suwet’en, and the Gidimt’en Clan, for who’s unceded territory the town still calls home.

Smithers officially became a town in 1967, and has continued to modernize ever since.
