Chetwynd, British Columbia
A small town in northeastern B.C., Canada, with a population of 3,000 people. The article is based on the Dawson Creek, British Columbia featured article's layout and format. A copyedit will be appreciated. --maclean25 02:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks pretty good to me. The only issue I have is that so much of the introduction is focused on a description of the flag. This actually seems like possibly the least important aspect of the page, so I'd like to see it further down in it's own sub-section, possibly below Government and Politics. Thanks. &mdash; RJH 03:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * My intention was to use the flag's elements as an introduction to what the town is all about. For example, listing the important industries like transportation, gas, logging, farming. I'd like one more chance to re-write this as a better introduction. --maclean25 03:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

This article was reviewed by District of Chetwynd Councillor Bob Nicholson on 16 Feb 2006 with the following comments:
 * Coat of Arms - Slogan reads Success Through Effort
 * History - Last sentence - The route was from End of Rail Dawson Creek and the landing strip was built 30 miles west of Chetwynd at Airplane Flats by hunting guide Phil Esswein to transport hunters. There were no prospectors and trappers could not afford airplane travel! (see page 25 Saga of Little Prairie/Chetwynd History book). This stripwas built in the 1920s (without any equipment except horse pulled slips to fill holes)
 * Economy - 2nd to last paragraph RE: L.P. pulp mill closure - Tembec purchases LP mill and re-opened it with increased production. (Also of note: There is 2 producing coal mines operating out of Chetwynd with at least 2 more ready or almost ready to go ahead.) Also, 2nd sentence from beginning "Rail line was cut southward should read northwest.
 * Transportation - First paragraph "Rough wagon path over two frozen rivers" actually a wagon + sleigh trail existed from East Pine to Chetwynd (Little Prairie) from 1923 to 1939. A car road existed in the 1930s from East Pine to Dawson Creek. Truck road was built from East Pine to Little Prairie 1939/1940. River crossing by cable basketes or fording in low water or on ice in winter until 1940 with a ferry installed 1939/40 until a bridge was built. Airport (I don't believe TR has a commercial airline).
