THE DISTRICT ## Where Fraser-Nicola is 27,818 km² · 42,605 people Fraser-Nicola extends from E.C. Manning Provincial Park in the south to the Thompson and Nicola regions in the north, according to the Electoral Boundaries Commission's 2023 final report. The report names Hope, Lytton, Merritt and Lillooet as its main towns, and adds the communities on the north bank of the Fraser River: Durieu, Dewdney, Deroche, Lake Errock, Harrison Mills, Harrison Hot Springs and the District of Kent. The southwest boundary follows Fraser Valley Regional District Electoral Areas A, B and C. The northern boundary follows the municipal border of Ashcroft, Highway 97C (Highland Valley Road), Logan Lake and Thompson Nicola Regional District Electoral Areas M and I. The commission counts 42,562 people on 27,818 square kilometres. Roads tie the district together. The commission says the north bank communities are connected to the rest of the district by Highway 7. The Canadian Encyclopedia says the Trans-Canada, Coquihala and Crowsnest (Highway 3) highways meet at Hope. It places Lytton on the Trans-Canada Highway, 260 km northeast of Vancouver, where the Thompson and Fraser rivers join. Lytton First Nation describes the same highway as running between Hope and Cache Creek. The Province's flood recovery page lists Highways 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 among the routes damaged in November 2021. Elections BC's 2024 results file lists voting places in the district from Yale, Hope and Agassiz in the south to Merritt, Logan Lake and Spences Bridge in the north and east, and to Lillooet and Gold Bridge in the northwest. They include the Seabird Island Millennium Hall, the Leq'á:mel Community Hall, the Shxw’ōwhámél First Nation Band Office Gym, the Lower Nicola Band Hall, the Shackan Community Hall, the Xaxli'p Admin Office, the Xwísten Band Office, the Ts'kw'aylaxw First Nation Health Building and an Elder's Lodge on Seton Lake run with the Tsal'alh Band. - Hope - Yale - Yale First Nation - Lytton - Lytton First Nation (Tl'ḵémtsin) - Spences Bridge - Merritt - Battlefield - Coldwater - Lower Nicola - Shackan - Logan Lake - Lillooet - Gold Bridge - Xaxli'p - Xwísten - Tsal'alh - Ts'kw'aylaxw - Agassiz - Kent - Harrison Hot Springs - Harrison Mills - Dewdney - Deroche - Lake Errock - Durieu - Seabird Island (Sq'éwqel) - Leq'á:mel - Shxw'ōwhámél Sources: [British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Commission (opens in a new tab)](https://elections.bc.ca/docs/rpt/BCEBC-Final-Report-April-3-2023.pdf), [The Canadian Encyclopedia (opens in a new tab)](https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/hope), [The Canadian Encyclopedia (opens in a new tab)](https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/lytton), [Lytton First Nation (opens in a new tab)](https://lfn.band/about-us), [Province of British Columbia (opens in a new tab)](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation-projects/bc-highway-flood-recovery), [Elections BC (opens in a new tab)](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/44914a35-de9a-4830-ac48-870001ef8935) HISTORY ## The history of the area Checked Thursday, October 8, 2026 ### Nlaka'pamux, St'át'imc and Stó:lō homelands The district holds the territory of several Nations. Lytton First Nation says its 56 reserves, with 14,161 acres, lie at the site of the village of Kumsheen, meaning "where the Rivers Cross". The Village of Lytton gives the Nlaka'pamuxcin name as Tl'ḵémtsin and says the Nlaka'pamux have lived there for ten millennia. The Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council says Nlaka'pamux communities are part of the Nlaka'pamux Nation, and that its members hold Nlaka'pamux title and rights. Coldwater Indian Band, near Merritt, calls itself a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation and says the Nation's territory stretches from the Fraser Canyon and Princeton in the south to Cache Creek and Kamloops in the north. The Scw'exmx Tribal Council lists Coldwater, Nooaitch, Shackan and Upper Nicola, and says its communities in the Nicola Valley are of the Nlaka'pamux and the Syilx peoples. The Province lists Lower Nicola Indian Band as a Nlaka'pamux band with 1,463 members. In the northwest, the St'át'imc are the people of the land, a name the Nation gives as Ucwalmicw. The District of Lillooet says the St'át'imc are the original inhabitants of a territory that extends north to Churn Creek and south to French Bar. St'át'imc Government Services places Xaxli'p 15 km from Lillooet, and says the Fountain Valley and adjacent lands are the basis of its survival. It calls the Tsal'alh "the people of the lakes" on Seton and Anderson Lake. Xwísten says its territory includes the entire watersheds of the Yalakom and Bridge Rivers. Ts'kw'aylaxw describes its vision as healing in body, mind and spirit. In the south are Stó:lō communities. Seabird Island Band uses the Halq'eméylem name Sq'éwqel, "turn in the river", and says the Indian Reserve Commission set the island aside in 1879 as a reserve for seven First Nations bands. Leq'á:mel First Nation, at Deroche, means "the level place where people meet" and says it was once one of the most popular trading stops in Stó:lō territory. Shxw'ōwhámél First Nation, near Hope, says its name means "where the river levels and widens". Yale First Nation says its territory runs from the Fraser Valley along the river to the start of the Fraser Canyon, in sixteen parcels of reserve land. Canada, British Columbia and Yale First Nation signed a Final Agreement on 11 April 2013, with treaty lands of 1,966 hectares.

The company needed a new supply route after the 1846 boundary settlement made the Columbia River unsuitable. Goods came up the Fraser, then went by pack train to Kamloops and on to Alexandria for the company's posts in New Caledonia. Parks Canada designated the site a national historic site on 15 May 1925. The Canadian Encyclopedia gives Hope's start as a company post at the western end of the trail from Fort Kamloops. Gold shaped the year 1858 here. Xwísten says its members earned income that year by selling beans, wheat, oats and potatoes to miners passing through Lillooet, and that smallpox devastated the community in 1862. Seabird Island Band says its English name comes from 1858, when the paddle steamer Sea Bird ran aground near the island. The Canadian Encyclopedia says Britain proclaimed the Fraser River area part of the Crown Colony of British Columbia on 2 August 1858. On 9 August a tense situation between miners, mainly American, and the Nlaka'pamux erupted into war, and miners gathered at Fort Yale, downriver from Nlaka'pamux territory. The war ended on 21 August with a truce. On 22 August Captain Henry Snyder held a council at Kumsheen with Chief David Spintlum (Sexpínlhemx) and 11 other chiefs. The encyclopedia says there was no further violence after it. The Village of Lytton says that in 1858 the Hudson's Bay Company buildings were moved to Tl'ḵémtsin and Governor James Douglas renamed the settlement after Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the secretary of state for the colonies.

The town became Mile 0 on the original road to the Cariboo goldfields, until the road from Yale was finished in 1863. Some 16,000 gold seekers were outfitted there. The encyclopedia says the single largest deposit of gold found anywhere in British Columbia lay in the valley of the Bridge River, and that the last mine there, Bralorne, stopped operating in 1971. Lillooet first became a municipality in 1946, as a village. It became the District Municipality of Lillooet in 1996. The District of Lillooet acknowledges that its land is on the unceded territory of the St'át'imc Nation. St'át'imc Government Services places Xwísten on the Bridge River, north of Lillooet, and Tsal'alh on Seton and Anderson Lake.

BC Geographical Names records that before 1905 the place was called Charters, The Forks, Forksdale and The Forks of Nicola. It was renamed Merritt in August 1906, after William Hamilton Merritt, a mining engineer from Toronto. The city says coal mining became a major industry and continued until the 1930s. Merritt was incorporated as a city on 1 April 1911. BC Geographical Names lists its later changes: a village municipality on 1 January 1958, a town on 1 January 1965 and a city again on 15 December 1981. Coldwater Indian Band describes how its people met the newcomers. It says that when settlers arrived in Nlaka'pamux territory in the first half of the 19th century, its ancestors willingly entered economic relationships, and took on ranching, farming and work on the railroad.

The Village of Harrison Hot Springs says the opening of the railway brought the lakeside springs within a short carriage ride of the main line. John Brown began building the St. Alice Hotel in the summer of 1886, and it opened on 1 November that year. The village was incorporated in May 1949 with 2,020 acres, the largest area of any village in the province at that time. Sts'ailes, a Coast Salish First Nation, says its ancestors have lived on these lands since time immemorial. At Agassiz, the federal government chose the site of the British Columbia Dominion Experimental Farm in 1887, one of the first five in Canada. Title to 300 acres was obtained in 1889. The farm included part of the original Agassiz family estate. The Canadian Encyclopedia says Kent was incorporated as a district municipality in 1895 and contains Harrison Mills and Agassiz, the main population and commercial centre. The District of Kent says its first reeve was A. St. George Hammersley and its first clerk was Harry Fooks.

The railway ran until a washout in 1959 and was abandoned in 1961. The tunnels became part of Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park in 1986. The Coquihalla Highway followed much of that route. The Canadian Encyclopedia says it runs through the Cascade Mountains along the Coquihala and Coldwater rivers, following earlier cattle trails from 1876, the Kettle Valley Railway and later pipelines. The 115 km section from Hope to Merritt opened in May 1986. The 80 km section from Merritt to Kamloops opened in September 1987, and the 108 km section from Merritt to Kelowna in October 1990. A public inquiry found the highway cost two-thirds more than the budgeted $250 million. Mining also built a town. The Canadian Encyclopedia says Logan Lake was built to house the employees of the Highland Valley Copper Mine, which it calls the largest open-pit copper mine in North America, and that the first 100 families moved there in 1971.

A wildfire swept through the village on 30 June. The Village of Lytton says it destroyed most of the village and the downtown, caused two deaths and displaced residents. Global News reports that the fire destroyed 90 percent of the town's buildings. In November the same year, heavy rain flooded the Nicola Valley. CFJC Today reported that on 15 November the whole City of Merritt was placed under an evacuation order. Flood water covered two bridges over the Coldwater River and the wastewater treatment plant could not work. Residents with odd-numbered houses were sent to Kamloops and those with even-numbered houses to Kelowna. The Province says a rainstorm brought an unprecedented amount of rain to British Columbia that month, damaging Highways 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 19 and 99. It says repairs to Highway 8 in the Nicola Valley took almost five years across 25 damaged sites.

Elections BC's history of 1871 to 1986 records that the Constitution Amendment Act of 1966 created the district of Yale-Lillooet, in effect for the 1966 election. Its members before 1991 were William Leonard Hartley (NDP) in 1966, 1969 and 1972, Thomas Manville Waterland (Social Credit) in 1975, 1979 and 1983, and James Thomas Rabbitt (Social Credit) in 1986. In 1991 Harry S. Lali (NDP) won with 7,740 votes against Rabbitt's 7,057, and he was re-elected in 1996. Dave Chutter (BC Liberal) won in 2001 with 9,845 votes (60.07%). Lali won again in 2005 with 8,432 votes (48.90%) against Lloyd George Forman (BC Liberal) with 6,949. Fraser-Nicola was first used in the 2009 election. Elections BC's history for 2002 to 2013 notes that the Electoral Districts Act of 2008 increased the legislature from 79 to 85 seats. Lali won the new district in 2009 with 6,703 votes (49.12%) against Ella Brown (BC Liberal Party) with 5,830. Jackie Tegart (BC Liberal Party) won it in 2013 with 6,002 votes (44.14%), in 2017 with 6,597 votes (41.79%) and in 2020 with 5,696 votes (41.64%). The legislature lists her party in the 42nd Parliament as BC United. In 2024 Tony Luck (Conservative Party) won with 10,326 votes (54.34%), ahead of Francyne Joe (BC NDP) with 6,917 and Jonah Timms (BC Green Party) with 1,761. Turnout was 56.74% of 33,542 registered voters. The 2023 commission report records that Fraser-Nicola was 41% below the electoral quotient, the average number of people per seat. It moved Ashcroft and Cache Creek out to Cariboo-Chilcotin, and added Durieu, Dewdney, Deroche, Lake Errock, Harrison Mills, Harrison Hot Springs and Kent from the north bank of the Fraser. It kept them in Fraser-Nicola because Highway 7 connects them to the rest of the district. Of the district's 77 voting areas, 56 came from the previous Fraser-Nicola and 22 from Chilliwack-Kent, whose member from 2020 to 2024 was Kelli Paddon (BC NDP).

Fraser-Nicola is a provincial electoral district in south-central British Columbia. The Electoral Boundaries Commission's 2023 report says it extends from E.C.

The 2023 boundary change moved Ashcroft and Cache Creek out of Fraser-Nicola and into Cariboo-Chilcotin.
