The small unincorporated settlement of Alexis Creek has the following services: British Columbia Forestry Service office, Alexis Creek School, a highways maintenance yard, a detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Happy Eater restaurant, the Chilcotin Hotel with cafe, a tire / mechanical repair shop, an outpost clinic, a federal government health clinic, the Alexis Creek Store, and British Columbia Ambulance Service.
