The Stellat’en First Nation and Village of Fraser Lake acquired 5.6 acres of land for the largest commercial development in Fraser Lake in decades.
A feasibility study is underway to determine the exact nature and components of the development, with Stellat’en staying true to the zoning and Fraser Lake’s Official Community Plan.
The Village said development will be phased, with the first phase planned for construction in 2026 including a new hotel.
The final size of the hotel and included amenities will be determined through the feasibility study.
The aim is to create a commercial venue that provides services to everyone living in and visiting the area.
Other major projects that look to take place include:
- Drone Transport Initiative – Phase II – A partnership with the Village of Fraser Lake, University of British Columbia and provincial healthcare partners to deliver pharmaceutical and lab products to and from rural and remote communities.
- Ni Ti Mountain Wind – A 35 turbine clean energy wind project just south of Stellaquo and Fraser Lake, starting construction in 2026 and beginning operations in 2029.
- Slenyah Redevelopment – A redevelopment of the current commercial space at Stellaquo including a new gas station, market, and office space.
- Stellat’en First Nation Administration Building – A new building to house administrative and government operations for Stellat’en for decades to come.
