Cassiar, British Columbia
Cassiar is a ghost town in British Columbia, Canada. It was a small Company town, company-owned asbestos mining town located in the Cassiar Mountains of Northern British Columbia north of Dease Lake.

The town was established in 1952, the same year the mining operation began.
