Adopted in 1994 as an established local name. This is the “Ozalenka valley” that is a popular recreation destination, named in association with Ozalenka Peak.

An established local name associated with Ozalenka Peak.

In the 1940s the name “Osilinka” was proposed for the mountain, however, as this is a Sekani name translated as “river where wild rhubarb grows, ”and that refers to a river in the Omineca watershed), the proposal was turned down. McBride-area residents adjusted the spelling of “their” peak, and the name became entrenched.

The Ozelanka Alpine Club, formed in 1991, is open to residents of the Robson Valley. The club maintains a cabin in the Ozalenka valley named the Glen Stanley Alpine Hut after one of the club’s founders.

Adopted in 1994 as an established local name for over 15 years. No record of arrowheads found here, so is presumably a reference to the shape of the summit.

Big Bell and Little Bell are visible from McBride, and their names refer to their shape. In 1988, McBride Municipal Council received a development proposal for a ski hill here, to be called “Belle.” After initially supporting the commercial interest’s play on the word, Council endorsed the historic spelling “Bell” in 1992.
