Village of Ashcroft

This is the official page for the municipality of Ashcroft, British Columbia, Canada.

This page serves as a communication portal between Village Staff and the Public. If you would like to report a service-related incident please call us at 250-453-9161 The history of the Ashcroft area begins long before the Cariboo Gold Rush of the 1860s. Indigenous people have been living in the area since time immemorial, living off the plentiful fish, wild animals, and edible and medicinal plants in the area. Present-day Ashcroft is within the traditional territory of the Nlaka’pamux and Secwepemc First Nations, which include the present day First Nations of Ashcroft Indian Bank, Oregon Jack Creek Indian Band, Cook’s Ferry Indian Band, and the Bonaparte Indian Band. Incorporated in 1952, Ashcroft is a charming village of ~1500 people that lies at the junction of the Bonaparte and Thompson Rivers. The Village of Ashcroft began as a transportation hub and agricultural producer in the 1850s and has since gained attention for its historic charm, vibrant art scene, wonderful local produce, and breathtaking scenery – we have been a popular site for filming movies and TV series (The X-Files, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The A-Team, Jurassic World 3, etc.) Ashcroft’s biophysical environment, multiracial roots, and community spirit have made it the unique, welcoming, and beautiful place we are so happy to call home.

Never walk, cycle or drive along railway tracks. It’s hard to judge how far away a train is or at what speed it’s travelling at. Trains can go as fast as 160 km/h (100 mph) and can take up to two kilometres (over one mile) to come to a complete stop. That’s the length of 18 football fields.
