Prince Rupert Essentials

Prince Rupert serves as a critical maritime hub on British Columbia’s rugged north coast. This collection highlights the city's coastal defense history through the WWII-era Fairview and Barrett Point batteries and its deep indigenous roots at the Museum of Northern British Columbia, housed in a cedar longhouse. Natural phenomena are represented by the reversing tidal flows of the Butze Rapids, while the local art scene and maritime heritage are preserved at the Ice House Gallery and the waterfront Workers' Memorial.
