The District of Houston is nestled in the beautiful Pleasant Valley located on the Highway 16 Transportation Corridor between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

Also known as the “Steelhead Capital of the World”, Houston is very well known for its supreme fishing, warm hospitality, and its natural beauty.  Home to steelhead, spring and coho salmon runs, and also home to the Witsuwit’en people, dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of their culture, traditions and territories.

The main staples of the community have always been agriculture, mining, and forestry, and recently eco-tourism.  Houston is home to one of the largest wood processing mills in the country, Canfor, and also serves as the home community to many of the workers at the Huckleberry copper mine, located 125km south of Houston.
