Prince Rupert

Prince Rupert is best known within British Columbia for its deep-water port on Kaien Island. Set on Canada’s northwest Pacific coast, the city faces Prince Rupert Harbour, while Hecate Strait opens to the west and the Skeena River reaches the sea nearby. The port is a major link in trans-Pacific trade, and the compact centre retains the practical character of a railway-and-maritime town. Prince Rupert was established in 1910 as the western terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The surrounding coast is part of the traditional territory of the Tsimshian people, whose communities and culture remain central to the region.
