Prince Rupert: Where wilderness meets community Nestled on Kaien Island and right on the Pacific Ocean, the city of Prince Rupert offers visitors a unique experience that simply can’t be replicated. It’s a community where wilderness meets the urban experience and where recreation, the arts and culture are all abundant. For those who are more adventurous, activities like fishing, whale watching and kayaking will provide a full day of memories for people of all ages. For those who prefer to get their recreation on firmer ground, Prince Rupert is home to a number of trails through the coastal rainforest, an 18-hole golf course, an outdoor gym and the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre. Shopping in Prince Rupert can be an experience unto itself, with three distinct shopping areas in town and stores that run the gamut in terms of selection, price and uniqueness. And after a busy day shopping, there is a restaurant to suit any taste and budget. Prince Rupert has a rich and varied history starting with the vision of Charles
Melville Hays, who saw the city as a terminus for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The region’s history is captured from pre-contact to present day, in the Museum of Northern BC, Kwinitsa Rail Museum, the Port Interpretive Centre and North Pacific Cannery Museum in Port Edward. Residents of Prince Rupert are proud of their community, and nowhere is that more evident than in the many festivals and activities that take place during the year. From dance festivals to a four-day Seafest celebration every June, the spirit of Rupertites is always on display. As well as Prince Rupert itself, the city is a gateway to even greater adventures through connections with BC Ferries, Alaska Ferries, Via Rail and the various seaplane operators located in town. Through this guide we hope to introduce you to everything Prince Rupert has to offer. Whether visiting for a day, a weekend, a week or more, a trip to Prince Rupert is sure to be a memorable one.

Experience Prince Rupert Adventure awaits the whole family on the north coast Unquestionably Prince Rupert’s greatest attribute is the natural and marine environment surrounding the city. The Pacific Ocean offers unparalleled opportunities to see things you simply can’t see elsewhere in northwestern BC, and Prince Rupert’s tourism sector is more that ready to offer visitors an experience they will remember for years to come. For those who want to try their luck at landing the big one, there are a number of skilled and knowledgeable fishing charter operators that will help make your dream a reality. From the massive halibut, which can easily weigh hundreds of pounds, to some of the biggest salmon you’ll ever see, the chance to fish in the Hecate Strait or along the coast draws people from across Canada and around the world to the north coast. With charter operators, all you need to bring is yourself and an adventurous spirit to get the most out of your time on the water. Fishing with your feet on the ground is always an option too. The Skeena River is a short drive down the highway and features world class salmon fishing and the promise of a fun filled family day. If you’ve never been whale watching, it’s an adventure that words can’t describe. These massive mammals frequent the waters around Prince Rupert throughout the summer, with peak viewing for Gray Whales running from April to August and peak viewing for Humpback Whales staring in mid-July, and tour operators in the area know just where to find them. Simply witnessing the tails and arched backs coming out of the water is
itself something to see, but often times the Humpback Whales can be seen bubble-feeding. Bubblefeeding entails a group of whales releasing bubbles to confuse their would-be food before all coming to the surface as one, mouths agape, to feast. Tours leave daily during the summer. Just north of Prince Rupert is the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, where the majestic bears live in a pristine wilderness uninterrupted by human development. It is a place that isn’t accessible by land, but tour operators in Prince Rupert can take guests to the verge of the shoreline to view the Grizzlies in their natural habitat. And who knows, on the way to see the bears you may just see some of the larger whales, seals and Orcas. Independent adventurers can also take to the sea. Kayak rentals are available to let people explore the Prince Rupert harbour or Kloiya Bay either on their own or with an experienced guide. Lessons are available for first timers. See page 8 for more on the bear and whale watching experience.

Experience Prince Rupert Connect with the rich and diverse history of the area Prince Rupert celebrated its 100th birthday in 2010, and to say that the city has a rich and varied history would be an understatement. Long before contact with the Europeans, the area around Prince Rupert was inhabited by the Tsimshian First Nation. The city has embraced its First Nations history, with totem poles found throughout town including at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, beside City Hall and at Totem Park near the hospital. In the early 1900s Charles Melville Hays saw Prince Rupert as a great national port city that would connect Canadian goods with Asian markets. As such, he chose Prince Rupert to be terminus for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad and had plans for the city that included a hotel to rival the Grand Pacific Hotel in Victoria. Unfortunately Hays went down with the ill-fated Titanic in 1912, and the plans for the community went with him. When war broke out, Prince Rupert’s strategic location brought soldiers from the US and Canada to defend the position on the coast. With the soldiers came a number of bunkers and forts that can still be found around the island today. But even before Prince Rupert was incorporated, fishing was the backbone of the Prince Rupert economy. A number of canneries were established along the coast and a massive fleet headed out to sea every year. North Pacific Cannery in
Port Edward, a Parks Canada National Historic Site, offers a unique glimpse into what cannery life would be like for the men and women who worked there. The cannery was established in 1889, making it the oldest remaining cannery on west coast of North America, and the structures that made up the facility remain largely in tact. Throughout the summer the cannery offers interpretive tours that explain the cannery life, operation and impact on the region. Along with North Pacific Cannery, Prince Rupert is fortunate to have the massive Museum of Northern BC. This world-class museum includes exhibits outlining the First Nations history of the region – including some exceptional carvings and a carving shed – and artifacts that outline the complete story of how the City of Prince Rupert has evolved throughout the years and the different periods in the City’s history. Other museums include the Kwinitsa Railway Museum, which is located at Rotary Waterfront Park and examines the role of the railroad in shaping Prince Rupert, and the Prince Rupert

Experience Prince Rupert Rupert’s three different ways to spend your shopping days When it comes to shopping in Prince Rupert, there really are three different areas that each offer their own experience. Cow Bay The most uniquely Prince Rupert shopping experience can be found in an area named Cow Bay, due to cows being loaded off boats in the area in the early days of the city. Here visitors can shop along the waterfront and enjoy the beautiful scenery offered by the harbour. As for the shopping itself, the selection in Cow Bay is as interesting as the place itself. Here you will find locally owned boutique shops carrying north coast and Canadian gifts and trinkets located next to funky coffee shops and restaurants selling seafood, sushi and everything in between. Cow Bay is also the place for art lovers with the opening of the Ice House
artist’s cooperative. The Atlin Market location features work from local artists in any medium you can imagine - from photography and paintings to knit clothing to glass and shell work to some things that need to be seen to be believed. Cow Bay is also home to the new Port Interpretive Centre, which offers a glimpse into the role overseas shipping plays in Prince Rupert and how the operations work. Downtown Prince Rupert Prince Rupert’s downtown core stretches for eight blocks along Second and Third Avenue West starting on McBride Street - the entry to town. Walking along the sidewalk on Third Avenue you’ll pass thrift shops, electronics stores, restaurants, jewellery shops, coffee shops, clothing stores and banks. You’ll also pass City Hall, the
historic Besner Block building, a statue of town founder Charles Hays and a totem pole. Along Second Avenue you can expect to see everything from gaming stores to a pet shop to a news stand to fishing tackle to restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations and everything in between. Many of the stores are locally owned and operated stores you won’t find elsewhere, but you’ll also see some familiar brand name chain stores, highlighting the variety of business in Prince Rupert. Rupert Square Mall If you prefer to find everything under one roof, the Rupert Square Mall is the place for you. The mall features brand name chains that carry clothing, hardware, electronics, shoes, cosmetics and much, much more

Experience Prince Rupert Challenge awaits on the Prince Rupert Centennial golf course Visitors to the Centennial Golf Course are surprised to learn that set amongst the trees and lush foliage is an eighteen hole golf course. Always vibrant, this wonderfully scenic North Coast course is admired for its natural beauty, high level of conditioning and strategic challenge. Mother Nature was very kind to the golfers of the Northwest, bestowing on them her beauty, evident on our course and the surrounding area. It would be uncommon to experience a round of golf in Prince Rupert without a wildlife sighting. Deer are common companions around the course, while marmots and squirrels peek out from their burrows and trees. Situated at the base of Mount Hays, which is home to hundreds of Bald
Eagles, Prince Rupert's course is spectacular and challenging. The fine conditioning of it just enhances this natural experience. The challenge is abundant in a variety of ways. Though the course is not long by modern standards, the original 1967 design has stood the test of time. Each hole enjoys a terrain of its own, separated from the rest of the course by trees and bush. The smaller greens are heavily contoured and slick in nature. They demand strategic placement of approach shots. These well manicured greens have gained the reputation for being the best in the Northwest. The tree and creek lined fairways require similar respect from the tee box. Creeks
crossing fairways and fronting greens on six holes require decisions regarding strategic lay up vs. heroic carry-overs of these natural hazards. Being situated in the North we enjoy long hours of daylight in the summer months which enables golfers to book tee times late into the day. Visitors are always welcome and made to feel at home by our long time CPGA Professional Moe Hays. You will find at the Centennial Golf Course the same friendly people that our City of Rainbows is famous for. For more information, visit www. princerupertgolf.ca The Prince Rupert Centennial Golf Course features 18 holes that offer their own unique challenge for all players.
Take a dip at the Earl Mah Prince Rupert’s swim scene has come a long way from the early days of people taking to the salt lakes across the harbour. Today the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre, named after lifelong volunteer and the first Chinese-Canadian born in Prince Rupert, features a children’s pool, a hot tub, two saunas, a deep area with a diving board and rope swing and a full length pool. As well as the pool itself, the upstairs part of the centre was recently renovated to be a state of
the art gym, complete with weights, three treadmills, three ellipticals, four bikes, two rowing machines, and much more to give people a chance to get their workout in. Prince Rupert also has an outdoor gym for those nice days. With allweather equipment and machines for legs, arms and cardio, the outdoor gym lets you get your workout and your time in the sun all at once. For more information on the centre, including hours and fees, visit www.princerupert.ca.

Experience Prince Rupert Spending an afternoon with the bears in the Khutzeymateen As the boat pulls out of the dock at Atlin Terminal at eight a.m., there is certainly a sense of anticipation amongst the many and varied passengers. A quick listen to the chatter around the cabin tells of the international flavour of today’s voyage: There’s a gentleman from Luxembourg getting coffee for his wife while another man from London talks about the difference between B.C. and England, the tour guide switches to French for the tourist who speak that language primarily, and there is a group of Italian tourists also out hoping to capture a glimpse of the province’s mighty grizzly bear in its natural habitat. After sailing for just over an hour while simultaneously learning about the history of the north coast, including pre and post-settlement history of Metlakatla and Port Simpson, and slowing
down to view a gathering of seals on a rock island, the captain slows the ship to a crawl to signify entry into the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Reserve. And at that point, regardless of conversations that were ongoing or activities being done, the cabin empties as people take their binoculars and cameras onto the deck to seek out the bears. Quickly fingers point to a beach off to the distance, and a quick glance through the binoculars confirms the sighting of the first bear of the day. But distance isn’t an issue in the valley on this misty day, as the boat goes as close to the shore as the depth allows - and the bear seems to neither notice nor care the dozens of people snapping photos and following its every move through binoculars. It briefly grazes on grass before moving to the mud and, as if to give a real show, begins pawing and
digging for clams along the shore. After a significant amount of time watching this creature without it seeming to care, the boat backs out and just around the corner, unexpectedly, is another grizzly - a monster of a bear compared to the previous one. Again the bear goes about its business, seemingly oblivious to the amazed looks on the faces of people just feet away or the countless and repeated shutter clicks as people from all walks of life capture these moments and memories. If the passengers wanted to stay in this beautiful coastal setting and watch the bear all day, he One of the grizzlies in the Khutzeymateen forages for food early in the would be happy to tour, while this pack of seals soak up some sun on the way back to Prince oblige. Rupert.
Spending a day at sea and watching the whales at play A spray of water shoots into the air off in the distance, signalling the start of an adventure and an unforgettable experience for the more than 70 passengers taking part in the tour today. The vessel is just north of Metlakatla when the water spray is spotted by the crew and a number of alert passengers and as soon as the announcement makes its way over the PA system, the inside cabin empties and cameras and camcorders appear from almost every bag or pocket. As the wind blows through the faces and hair of people from the lower deck to the upper deck, the captain draws the boat ever closer to the site where the spray was seen. And then it is a short waiting game as people look around all sides of the boat for one of nature’s most majestic mammals. Just off to the side water shoots into the air and a large black arch makes its way over the surface - the fin, the
blowhole and the back all curving up against the sunny blue sky. After several minutes of moving along, this whale does a big arch and brings its massive tail out of the water before heading below the surface. The oohs and ahhs of the passengers are certainly noticeable, but the day has just begun. The next whale is a bit of a surprise to everyone. As people stare and take pictures of the seals on a rocky outcrop, a whale appears just in front of the ship. Cameras come out, the cabins empty and everyone takes in the movement of the massive creature in its natural environment. The passengers, who today come from around the northwest and around the world, would be content to sit and watch that whale all day, but the ship moves on after it flips a tail before disappearing and re-appearing twice. The next few hours include a sail past of
Lax Kw’alaams and a brief visit to Work Channel along with another sighting. But, as time is running out and it looks like we’re heading back, another spray is seen in the distance. The whale disappears and while passengers and crew look for it, two more sprays appear closer to shore. Moving the boat closer to shore three distinct backs appear before three tails break up the landscape and re-appear. Not only are there three whales in this particular section - four if you count the original one which can be seen in the distance - but this group of three included a mom and calf swimming side by side. Quite a sight. Late August and September are prime whale watching times here on the North Coast, an opportunity to not only see whales surface but to possibly see them bubble-feed.

This summer, experience Prince Rupert Join us for Seafest 2012, June 7-10 Prince Rupert’s largest community celebration, Seafest, takes place every June and draws people from across the northwest for four days of fun and games. Seafest started in 1978 and has only grown since then. Every year features a different theme, and this year the festivities will be a tribute to the Canadian Coast Guard and its 50th anniversary. Seafest will kick off on Thursday night when the block of Third Avenue West in front of City Hall will be shut down for a community block party. On Friday there is a Seniors Tea scheduled and the Jim Ciccone Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament gets underway and doesn’t wrapup until Sunday. But Seafest really ramps up on the weekend, with one day dedicated to activities in the downtown core and one day for activities on the waterfront. Saturday morning the Masonic Hall hosts a pancake breakfast, and at 11 a.m. one of the largest parades in the northwest takes to the streets. The Seafest Parade features dozens and dozens of entries, can last well over an hour and loops itself through seven blocks on 2nd and 3rd Avenue West where people are lined up three deep to see the different floats. While 2nd Avenue re-opens, Third Avenue West remains closed for the remainder of the day for activities that range from bouncy castles to marine touch tanks and dunk tanks to live music and tons of vendors along the sidewalks. To wrap up the day there is usually an evening harbour cruise social along Prince Rupert’s waterfront. Sunday’s Seafest is focussed entirely on the water that makes Prince Rupert’s quality of life unique. There is a children’s bullhead derby at the docks, where kids can try their luck at landing “the big one”, while the remainder
of the events take place at Rotary Waterfront Park. Throughout the day there is a race of homemade boats built the day before in The Quick and the Daring, a Swim for Survival, a sailpast and flypast of the park, kayaking for kids and parents and live entertainment on the Kwinitsa bandstand. Seafest concludes with the Sunset Service to honour those who perished at sea. The event is entirely run and organized by the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society. For more on Seafest, visit www.prspecialevents. com

Experience Prince Rupert Summer a time to celebrate Canada and the local arts Aside from Seafest, there are two major events in Prince Rupert during the summer that bring the community out to celebrate. On July 1, the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society celebrate Canada’s birthday with a full day of activities in Mariner’s Memorial Park. Along with the traditional singing of O’ Canada and the raising of the flag, MLA Gary Coons and Mayor Jack Mussallem serve up cake while volunteers hand out flags and local musicians, dancers and other artists entertain the crowd on the bandstand. For the kids, there is facepainting throughout the day, games like the sack race and the egg race and, if the weather is nice, a bouncy castle to play and expend some of their energy. For more information on Canada Day visit www. prspecialevents.com. The following month local actors take center stage, literally, for the annual Udder Theatre Festival.
Held from August 8-11, 2012 will be the 14th annual Udderfest, the only fringe theatre festival in northwestern BC. While there are some out of town performances, the majority of plays are written, directed and acted out by local theatre buffs who make up the Harbour Theatre Society. Ranging from improv to drama to comedy, the shows cover a broad range of genres and topics. As well as the long-time actors, every year there is a kids camp held where local youth take to the stage for
a show that they have been rehearsing for part of the summer. Shows take place at the Tom Rooney Playhouse, and will move to other venues in the community as needed. A schedule of shows and more details on Udderfest will be available at harbourtheatre. com as the date of the festival draws closer. Left: The mayor and MLA serve up cake on Canada Day.

Experience Prince Rupert Your gateway to Haida Gwaii, Alaska and so much more While Prince Rupert is undoubtedly a destination unto itself it may also be the launching point for a larger vacation experience, with BC Ferries, Alaska Ferries and Via Rail all calling on Prince Rupert. BC Ferries BC Ferries runs two routes out of the Prince Rupert terminal, and both draw people from around the world for their beauty and experience. Prince Rupert is the only point to take a vehicle to the majestic islands of Haida Gwaii. A seven hour trip through the Hecate Strait aboard either the Northern Adventure or Northern Expedition will land you in Skidegate on the southern tip of Graham Island. From Skidegate you can either travel north to Tlell, Port Clements, Masset or Old Massett. The northern route includes the Haida Heritage Centre - which includes an actively used carving shed, the Haida Museum and a performance area focussing on the rich history of the Haida people – or escape from it all on North Beach, where waves crash onto a sandy shore and Agate Beach and Tow Hill are just a short drive away. Along the way be sure to check out the balance rock, Naikoon Provincial Park and the only remaining branches from the mythical Golden Spruce of Port Clements. If you go south you can either visit Queen Charlotte or take a ferry to Moresby
Island to visit Sandspit and plan for a trip to Gwaii Haanas National Park, an untouched national site that covers the extent of southern Moresby Island and all of the Haida history it includes. The other trip offered by BC Ferries is the Inside Passage aboard the beautiful new Northern Expedition. This day-long trip takes you from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Along the way the ship winds its way through the mountainous Inside Passage, the same route taken by cruise ships on their way up to Alaska. From Port Hardy, you can do a circle tour down the island, through Vancouver and back to your home town. For more information, visit www.bcferries.ca Alaska Marine Highway System Prince Rupert is the only Canadian port of call for the Alaska Marine Highway system, and a trip aboard one of the ships will take you on an unforgettable sailing through southeast Alaska. From Prince Rupert it’s a six hour trip to Ketchikan Alaska. From there you can sail through the Inside Passage and through lush forests and past glaciers as far as Skagway, Alaska and even to the state capital of Juneau. You’ll have the chance to stop and explore many of the same communities that make up the Alaska Cruise experience, but at your own pace.

Experience Prince Rupert Take a hike along the trails in the north coast’s rainforest Being on the edge of the wilderness, there are hikes in town and on the outskirts that will appeal to people of all ages and abilities. In town there are a number of trails that can be accessed from the streets around town. McClymont Park, located across the street from the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, starts out as a nice walk along a flat path that follows Hays Creek. Shortly after though it transitions into a thin trail through one of the city’s many patches of wilderness, going along rolling hills and following Hays Creek until it becomes a tidal pond near George Hills Way on the eastern side of town. Moresby Park, located on the west end of town across the 2nd Avenue bridge, takes visitors to a secluded pond that is looped by a nice gravel trail. With wild birds and other animals frequenting the pond, it’s an enjoyable walk through the wild for the whole family. Near the hospital, starting off Omenica Road, is the newly completed Mount Hays Connector trail. This trail includes a series boardwalks
that takes the hiker from the top of the west side to Wantage Road, just at the base of Mount Hays. From there it is a short walk to the Lester Centre parking lot or, for those who really enjoy a challenge, a lengthy hike to the top of Mount Hays along an old access road. Also on Wantage Road, accessible from the parking lot of the Lester Centre of the Arts on the way into town, is Oldfield Creek Hatchery and the trails around the creek. These short trails go through the woods along the golf course, and are easy for people of all ages. Just down the highway is one of the most popular trails for residents and visitors alike. Built in 1992, Butze Rapids trail is located a short distance out of town, with its own parking lot. The 1.8 kilometre loop trail is well maintained crush that moves from lush forest through a wetland meadow filled with grasses and unique vegetation before winding along the ocean - offering a perfect spot to catch some sun or have a picnic. On the way back to the parking lot, be sure to look for the reversing rapids, a phenomenon
created by rising and lowering tides making their way through the narrow channel near Grassy Bay. Further out, eight kilometres past Port Edward, is Diana Lake Provincial Park. Just past the first picnic area, also accessible from the parking lot, is a short trail that takes you down to where the overflow from the dam cascades into the creek before following the creek itself back to the road. And after a nice walk on a hot day, there’s nothing better than a quick, refreshing dip in a lake. Fortunately, the north coast has several lakes that are easily accessible. To soak up some sun, have a campfire and a picnic, the Diana Lake beach provides a great place for families. A sandy beach, covered shelter and plenty of picnic tables make this a choice destination. Across the highway from the Diana Lake entrance is Prudhomme Lake, which also has a few spots to pull out and go swimming. And on the way to Terrace, near Rainbow Summit, there is a beach and boat launch at Rainbow Lake to use. Clockwise: Diana Lake Provincial Park; the reversing rapids from Butze Rapids Trail; Moresby Park; McClymont Park.

Experience Prince Rupert Celebrate National Aboriginal Day Known as the Halibut Capital of the World First Nations make up a large portion of the north coast’s population, and their culture and history are intertwined with that of Prince Rupert. In Prince Rupert the largest First Nations groups include the Tsimshian, on whose traditional territory Prince Rupert is located, the Nisga’a Nation of the Nass Valley, the Haida Nation of Haida Gwaii and the Gitga’at Nation of Hartley Bay. Prince Rupert is also the gateway to Haida Gwaii, and the service centre for the villages of Metlakatla, Lax Kw’alaams, Kitkatla and Hartley Bay. It is with this in mind that every June 21 First Nations and non-First Nations gather to celebrate the contributions and culture of Aboriginal Canadians as part of National Aboriginal Day. Unlike other communities, where National Aboriginal Day is celebrated the weekend before or the weekend after, in Prince Rupert festivities June 21 is a day to celebrate the culture and contributions of the are held on June 21.

Barbless hooks must be used when fishing for salmon in all tidal waters of British Columbia. The combined daily limit for all species of Pacific salmon from tidal waters is 4. Coastwide daily limit for Chinook is 2. Aggregate daily limit for all species of Pacific salmon from tidal and non-tidal waters combined is 4.
**The daily limit for halibut is one (1) and the possession limit for halibut is two (2), of which only one may be greater than 83 cm. The licence condition for one fish 83cm head on equates to a fish 62.25cm head off. DFO will accept a 63cm head off measurement as meeting the requirement of a whole fish being 83cm in length. You must retain halibut in such a manner that the size of the fish can be readily determined. If you have two fish in your possession you must be able to show that at least one of them is 83cm or less. Halibut may be left whole, head on, gut removed. Fish of 63 cm head off may be cut into four fillets, providing one fillet has the pectoral fin and tail attached. If fish size is close to the 63cm limit, and the measure will be stretched by not having the back bone attached, it is suggested that you leave the backbone attached to the fillet with the pectoral fin and tail attached
