Village of Fraser Lake
The Village of Fraser Lake is nestled in the heart of some of British Columbia's most beautiful scenery. An abundance of big game, migratory birds and world class fly-fishing, spin casting and canoeing, make Fraser Lake a fabulous outdoor recreation community. The area can boast of 170 lakes within a 50 mile radius and is the temporary home to over 1000 Trumpeter Swans, making it the Swan Capital of the world.
From its humble beginnings in the early 1900's, Fraser Lake Sawmill (owned and operated by West Fraser Timber Company Ltd.) has evolved into one of the world's most modern sawmills. Endako Molybdenum Mines was at one time the second largest Molybdenum Mine in the world. Endako Mine and Fraser Lake Sawmill employee the majority of Fraser Lake residents.
At present, the economic prosperity of Fraser Lake rests on the forest and mining industries. Approximately 36% of Fraser Lake's population is employed at either West Fraser Sawmill, or in supplying the sawmill with logs. Endako Mine now occupies the position of being the second largest employer with a labour force of over 200, drawn from the Village and surrounding area.
