Terrace: Highway 16 at Highway 37S on the border of - and Thornhill, looking east on Highway 16

Terrace is best known within British Columbia for its setting on the Skeena River, one of the province’s major salmon rivers. The city occupies the broad Skeena Valley in northwestern Canada, with forested mountains rising beyond its residential streets and commercial centre. It serves as a regional base for the surrounding northwest, while nearby Kitselas Canyon is a place of longstanding importance to the Tsimshian people. Outdoor life here is closely tied to the river, from salmon fishing and paddling to following its course through the valley. Highway 16 and Canadian National rail service connect Terrace with the wider province. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Terrace and northwestern British Columbia.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
