Known for its beautiful mountain and coastal scenery, Prince Rupert is the perfect destination for individuals who enjoy hiking, fishing, golfing and various water sports. Prince Rupert offers a number of different attractions for visitors and residents including the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, Skeena River, and Metlakatla Wilderness Trail.

The city is the main retail and service centre for many North coast communities. Fishing has long played a prominent role in Prince Rupert's economy. In recent years, the Port of Prince Rupert has taken on an increasing role in providing stable and well-paying jobs for local residents. The Port of Prince Rupert is strategically located closer (by as much as three days) to the Asia route than any other North American port. The port is in growth mode and already features the following terminals: Fairview Container Terminal, Westview Wood Pellet Terminal, and Ridley Coal Terminal, and the Prince Rupert Grain Terminal. Collectively, this makes the city a major hub of both inbound and outbound trade.

In addition to the above attractions and economic drivers, Prince Rupert is the premier destination for multiple proposed LNG facilities. Should one or more of these projects obtain approval, it will undoubtedly bring in substantially more job opportunities and growth to the area.

With an abundance of opportunities, attractions, activities, and beautiful landscapes, Prince Rupert is a wonderful place for any individual to live, work and visit!
