District of Tumbler Ridge
While Tumbler Ridge, the town, is barely 30 years old, the history of this area extends much farther back. Indeed, the paleontologic record predates the Triassic period, with trace fossils and crinoids. More info on these can be found in the Dinosaur section.

Community Info
With the arrival of the new millennium, Tumbler Ridge experienced a great deal of social and economic upheaval. In August, 2000, the Quintette Coal Mine shut down. Bullmoose Mine shut down in April, 2003. It seemed as though the town’s heyday as a coal mining town had come and gone. At that time, the District undertook an international marketing campaign focusing on affordable housing and superior lifestyle within a magnificent natural setting.
