Telecommunications

Ucluelet recently received support from Telus for their latest fibre optic internet connection, meaning that customers within Ucluelet can get internet speeds vastly exceeding what conventional copper cabling can provide.

Ucluelet’s cell phone coverage is the same as the rest of British Columbia, with four large wireless carriers who all provide both call and text functionality as well as mobile data.

Waste Management and Recycling

Ucluelet’s garbage and recycling services are managed by the Regional District of Alberni-Clayoquot. The District has a local recycling depot which provides services for residents in accordance with Multi-Material BC.

Ucluelet has bylaws ensuring residents don’t attract bears or other wildlife with their garbage. The District partners with WildSafeBC to raise awareness of preventing conflict with wildlife in the community.

Electricity

BC Hydro provides Ucluelet with electricity for residents and businesses.

Local electric vehicle charging stations are available at Black Rock Oceanfront Resort, the Pacific Rim Visitors’ Centre and the Ucluelet Community Centre. These charging points enable visitors and travelers to access Ucluelet by electric vehicle.
