Prince Rupert (City of)
Established as a municipality in 1910, Prince Rupert is located on Ts’msyen territory – an area rich with history. What’s now called Prince Rupert harbour was long an intersection of trade and commerce for First Nations people dating back to time immemorial. Our City is tucked in between impressive mountains and the 3rd deepest natural harbour in the world. The rain and weather patterns characteristic of this place give us both our title as the ‘City of Rainbows’, as well as the lush natural landscapes of the Great Bear Rainforest. It also makes for a resilient population – ready to weather both literal and figurative storms.

Prince Rupert has plentiful opportunities for recreation and activity on land and water. Within our City, you will find numerous parks for resting, strolling, biking, or walking. Overlooking the city core is the Roosevelt Park built to commemorate World War II, while Totem Park contains cultural legacies of the First Nations people. Visit our boutique shopping district in Cow Bay, also the home of our Visitor Information Centre at the Lax Süülda Container Market. You can also head to our historic downtown area, where many buildings retain the original facade from the City’s establishment in the early 1900s. There are lots of option for shopping downtown as well, including for antiques, personal services, consignment and retail clothing, as well as a number of diverse restaurant options. Take a light lunch or snack in one of the cafes or come back for dining at night.
