Mackenzie’s serene location in the Northern Rocky Mountain Trench, two hours north of Prince George, provides strategic access to a resource planning area larger than Vancouver Island. Excellent air, ground, rail, and marine transportation links are the methods of access to a hotbed of mining potential, forestry operations, and adventure tourism opportunities. While Mackenzie’s economy is primarily dependent on the forest industry, local companies have also benefited from servicing the mining exploration and development sector.

The local forest industry continues to invest in its manufacturing facilities and this is evident from the increased production capacity of Mackenzie mills. On the heels of traditional mill operations, value-added wood facilities also play an important role in job creation. With such a large timber supply, Mackenzie is set to see new developments in the value-added sector.

Remarkable snow conditions, vast wilderness areas, and an array of natural features provide Mackenzie’s young population (77 percent of the population is under 40 years of age) and visitors with a wide variety of recreation opportunities. Average family incomes above the provincial average (in excess of $72,000/annually) coupled with a growing need for additional retail services, create tremendous potential for investors and entrepreneurs.

Mackenzie’s economic development objectives are facilitated by a Official Community Plan, a appointed economic development advisory board, and two Regional Tourism Strategies.
