Daajing Giids

Land and hazards

Shares of the land area, measured by us from the provincial maps. Fire perimeters before the 1950s are less complete. A title or a past fire somewhere in the area says nothing about a given lot: a property report checks the parcel itself.

No landslides are recorded inside Daajing Giids in the Preliminary Canadian Landslide Database (version 14.0). No record doesn't mean stable ground. The database lists slides known to have happened, mapped from inventories, satellite images and lidar. It isn't a hazard map, and some parts of BC are mapped in far more detail than others. Landslides near a given lot.

Check one lot: is it in the ALR? · has it burned? · is there a mineral claim? · is it on a floodplain map? · landslides nearby? · radon? · power lines nearby?

Wildfire

Large fires (1,000 ha or more) since 1990

No wildfire of 1,000 ha or more has burned in Daajing Giids since 1990, in the BC Wildfire Service's perimeters.

Smaller mapped fires since 2016

No fire under 1,000 ha that the BC Wildfire Service mapped since 2016 reached Daajing Giids.

Small fires that were never mapped as a perimeter aren't listed: the BC Wildfire Service maps an outline for only some of the fires it records. Past fire is history, not a forecast. The chance of fire on a lot today depends on what the record doesn't show: the forest and grass around it, the slope, what has been thinned or burned since, and how far it is from a fire hall. Every BC season and large fire since 1990.

Evacuations since April 2017

None of the wildfire evacuation orders or alerts in the Province's record since April 2017 covered 5% or more of the land or homes in Daajing Giids.

Listed when an order or alert area covered at least 5% of the land in Daajing Giids, or lay mostly in Daajing Giids and held at least 5% as many homes as the 2021 census counted there. An order means people were told to leave; an alert, to be ready to leave. Homes are the record's own counts, area by area, shown where the areas lie mostly in Daajing Giids. The Province's record starts in April 2017: earlier evacuations aren't in it. A lot's report checks every order and alert over the lot itself, and any in effect now.

Radon

In the Northwest health region, 11 of the 211 homes tested (5.2%) in Health Canada's 2009–2011 survey were at or above the 200 Bq/m³ guideline; across BC, 143 of 1,817 (7.9%).

The survey tested about a hundred volunteer homes per health region, with one long-term test each. That gives a rough regional picture: it isn't a map, and a region where few or none tested high can still have homes above the guideline. Test the home itself: radon and buying a home in BC.

Zoning

Reports for lots in Daajing Giids don't show the zone.

We show zoning where the local government publishes its zoning map under an open licence: the places we cover. Ask the Village of Daajing Giids for a lot's zone and what it allows.

The Province's principal residence requirement doesn't apply in Daajing Giids (list in force from June 1, 2026), so the provincial rule doesn't limit short-term rentals to the host's home. Local bylaws, including the zone's own rules, can be stricter. Hosts anywhere in BC register each unit with the provincial registry. Short-term rental rules in BC.

Speculation and vacancy tax

Daajing Giids is outside the Province's speculation and vacancy tax area, so the tax doesn't apply to a home here. Our summary of the Province's pages, read 2026-10-04. Where the tax applies, and who pays.

Property tax

The 2026 residential property tax rate in Daajing Giids is $6.76 per $1,000 of assessed value, above the middle of BC's 160 municipalities ($6.24): about $6,764 a year on a $1,000,000 home, before the home owner grant. Rank in BC: 64th of 160.

Your bill uses BC Assessment's value for the property, which can differ from its price, and may also include parcel taxes and utility fees (water, sewer, garbage) that aren't rates on value. The home owner grant takes up to $570 off the bill of a home its owner lives in ($770 in the Province's northern and rural area in 2026, and up to $845, or $1,045 there, for seniors, veterans and people with a disability), for homes assessed at $2,075,000 or less in 2026; above that it shrinks by $5 for each $1,000. From 2027 the northern and rural extra ends and the regular grant is $570 everywhere. The owner applies each year, and must pay at least $350 in tax ($100 for the higher grant) after it.

Major projects in Daajing Giids

No major project in assessment or approved is placed in Daajing Giids or within 5 km of it on the Environmental Assessment Office's register.

Major projects are those large enough to need a provincial environmental assessment: mines, power plants, pipelines, transmission lines, highways, ports and resorts. The register places each at one point; a mine, pipeline or line can reach well past it, so check the project's own page for its maps. A property report lists those within 10 km of a lot.

Crime

The Daajing Giids RCMP detachment (rural) reported a crime severity index of 152 in 2025, above BC's 92; up 146% since 2015 (BC unchanged).

Inferred: Statistics Canada publishes no police figures under Daajing Giids's name, even where a detachment works in the town. These are the nearest RCMP rural detachment's it does publish, about 2 km away: figures for that detachment's area, not for Daajing Giids. BC's police boundaries aren't open data; the local RCMP can say whose figures include Daajing Giids.

The crime severity index weighs each offence by how serious it is (one assault counts for more than several thefts), with Canada in 2006 set at 100. Rates are per 100,000 people living in the police service's area, so places with many visitors, commuters or seasonal homes read high, and in small places a few incidents swing the figures a lot. These are crimes reported to police, not all crime.

An aquifer is listed for each place that holds at least a twentieth of it, so a sliver of one at the edge can be left out. Wells and productivity are for the whole aquifer, which can reach well beyond Daajing Giids. The province maps aquifers mostly in settled valleys, so a lot outside every outline can still have groundwater. Every mapped aquifer in BC · sampled lakes.

Sampled lakes

No lake in Daajing Giids has clarity or nutrient readings in the province's monitoring records.

A lake is listed for each place that holds at least a twentieth of it or 100 ha of it. Clarity is the median summer Secchi depth; the nutrient class is our reading of Carlson's index from phosphorus or chlorophyll, not a provincial rating. Either is given only for a lake with at least 10 summer readings from open water, spread over at least 3 different years, since 2012. Most lakes have never been sampled, so a lake missing here may simply have no record. Every sampled lake in BC.

Climate

Normals for 1991-2020 at the Sandspit Airport station, about 19 km from the town centre. Its normals don't include the frost-free period or days with snow on the ground, so those are left out. * Based on fewer years than the WMO standard: these figures rest on at least 20 or 15 of the 30 years, short of the World Meteorological Organization's standard of nearly all of them. ECCC publishes them as normals; treat them as a rougher guide. Elevation matters a lot in BC: a hillside lot can be much colder and snowier than the station.

Plant hardiness zone: 8a, for the homes here on Natural Resources Canada's 2025 map. Higher numbers are milder winters. What the zones mean.

Winter sun

About 6 h 40 min of possible direct sun on December 21 at Daajing Giids's town centre, against 7 h 20 min on open ground; a lot on a slope or bench can differ by hours: open any lot's report for its own.

On March 21, 11 h 20 min against 12 h; on June 21, 14 h 50 min against 16 h 40 min.
