Northern Rockies Regional Municipality

Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (NRRM) is a district municipality in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It is located in northeastern British Columbia and has its administrative office in Fort Nelson.

The population of NRRM was 3,947 as reported by the 2021 Canadian census. The mayor of NRRM is Rob Fraser. The NRRM is known for its important coal mining industry. 

Before Europeans, many tribes of indigenous peoples including the Dene, Cree, and Dane-zaa settled in the area for tens of thousands of years. They were present for the signing of Treaty 8, which was an agreement signed by both the British Crown and First Nations committed to peace and sharing. The Peace River-Liard Regional District was a regional district that divided to become a part of the Fort Nelson-Liard Regional District on October 31, 1987 and then eventually merged to become part of NRRM. It is the first regional municipality in the province of British Columbia.
