Chetwynd /ˈtʃɛtwɪnd/ is a district municipality located on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Situated on an ancient floodplain, it is the first town eastbound travellers encounter after emerging from the Rockies along Highway 97 and acts as the gateway to the Peace River Country. The town developed during the construction of infrastructure through the Rocky Mountains in the 1950s, and was used as a transshipment point during the construction of hydroelectric dams in the 1960s and 1970s and the new town of Tumbler Ridge in the early 1980s. Home to approximately 2,600 residents, the population has increased little if at all since the 1980s but is significantly younger than the provincial average.

  • Chetwynd ([ˈtʃɛtwɪnd]IPA) je malé město v předhůří Skalistých hor na severovýchodě kanadské provincie Britská Kolumbie. Do dnešní podoby se město vyvinulo zhruba v letech 1953-1983, kdy byla v této části státu budována infrastruktura včetně a vodních elektráren. Kromě dálnice 97 zde vede také a železniční trať do tří směrů. Město má zhruba 2600 obyvatel, přičemž jejich počet se za posledních 25 let měnil jen málo, ovšem je zde výrazně nižší průměrný věk, než kolik je průměr v rámci provincie. (cs)
