List of communities in British Columbia

Communities in the province of British Columbia, Canada, can include incorporated municipalities, Indian reserves, unincorporated communities or localities. Unincorporated communities can be further classified as recreational or urban.

Indian reserves

Indian Reserves are administered under a separate legal designation from other communities. Under the division of powers in Canadian law, First Nations (formally and still legally defined as Indians) fall under federal jurisdiction, while non-Aboriginal communities are part of a separate system that is largely the responsibility of the Provinces.
