The town was the filming location for the new BBC/Discovery Channel series Dinosapien (2007) and the 2009 CBC television series Wild Roses, as well as portions of the movie FUBAR.
In early 2003, guitarist and vocalist Paul Spence, (previously a member of a punk rock band, Lyle Sheraton and the Daylight Lovers), and newly famous for co-starring in the mockumentary cult classic FUBAR: The Movie, joined the band, renamed the CPC Gangbangs.
Reviews on the Run gave the game 0.0 from Jose "Fubar" Sanchez, and 0.5 from Victor Lucas, two of the lowest scores possible, with the main complaints from both being that "The damn controls don't work!" Nintendo Power gave it a 6.0.
The 1944 U.S. Army animated shorts Three Brothers and Private Snafu Presents Seaman Tarfu In The Navy (both directed by Friz Freleng), feature the characters Private Snafu, Private Fubar, and Seaman Tarfu.
The characters and situations depicted in FUBAR were inspired by encounters Dave and Paul experienced while working as labourers on a pipeline crew in Northern British Columbia.
