Bella Bella, British Columbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bella Bella is a village on the central coast of British Columbia, Canada, on the west coast of Campbell Island.
With a population of 1,400, Bella Bella is the largest community to be found on the central coast between Powell River and Prince Rupert. It is home to the Heiltsuk first nation.
Like many small communities on the coast, such as nearby Ocean Falls, Bella Bella has had a precarious and isolated existence. The building of road and rail links to towns on the mainland such as Bella Coola reduced the importance of Bella Bella's port.
However, the resumption of ferry services by BC Ferries and the introduction of an air link by Pacific Coastal Airlines have revived Bella Bella.
Services in Bella Bella include a bank, a large general store, a police station, a hospital and a pharmacy.
