Explore Our World

As the sun hits the highest snow-capped mountain peaks, descends into the vast valleys and illuminates the mossdrenched rainforest and glacial rivers, you know you have arrived in no ordinary place. It’s here First Nations legends come alive, the mysterious white Kermodei Bear roams free and the fish draw anglers from around the globe. It’s no wonder ‘Terrace-ites’ live for the great outdoors all year round. Whether it’s making epic powder turns, diving into crystal clear water or climbing to timberline, the options are endless. Add warm smiles and greetings as you walk the streets and visit our many shops, eateries and places to stay and you’ll soon discover why Terrace is the heart of the Skeena Valley and North Coast Mountains.

Fast Facts XX The Skeena River is North America’s largest un-dammed river and second longest river in BC with up to 5 million spawning salmon a year XX Population: In the summer months you’ll find more salmon than people, a million more actually. With approx. 12,000 people residing in Terrace, and 17,000 in the surrounding area of Kitimat-Stikine, our numbers are nothing compared to our slippery friends. XX Elevation: 713 ft / 217 m XX Top 5 Languages: English, French, Punjabi, German, Portuguese XX World-record catch: In 2001 a German visitor landed a 99 pound Chinook Salmon on the Skeena River
