Cluculz Lake is a settlement in British Columbia, located 40 km west of Prince George alongside the Yellowhead Highway. The word "Cluculz" is translated Big Whitefish and is based on a story told by local Carrier people of a group who paddled across the lake in their canoe and were tipped over by a giant Whitefish.[1]
Cluculz Lake is part of Electoral Area F (Vanderhoof Rural).[2] According to the 2011 census, Electoral Area F had a total population of 3,702 people.[3]
In 2013 a controversy arose between a group of residents and land owners at Cluculz Lake and the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako over the outcome of a referendum which would see them pay for a planned pool in the community of Vanderhoof, British Columbia - which many claimed they would not use.[4][5] A lawsuit was filed, but later dropped.
