Stewart

Stewart combines the frontier character of a former mining centre with the remoteness of a northern border settlement, reflecting its position at the head of Portland Canal in northwestern British Columbia. The town lies beside this long coastal inlet, where the Coast Mountains rise sharply behind the streets and the Canadian road reaches the boundary with Hyder, Alaska. Gold and silver prospecting helped establish Stewart during the early twentieth-century mining boom, a legacy recalled in the area’s old mine sites and local stories. Today it is a practical base for exploring Canada’s far northwest, shaped by mountains, water and its isolated location.
