Only three other highway mountain passes in BC surpass that elevation: Vermillion Pass on Highway 93 (1680m) which is also on the great divide, Pennask Summit on Highway 97C (1728m) between Kelowna and Merritt, and the Salmo-Creston summit (1775m) on Highway 3.
To add to this post:

The highest road in Canada is Kananaskis Trail, where it crosses the Highwood Pass (2206m).
