Welcome to Terrace
On behalf of Council and the
people of Terrace, I would
like to extend our warmest
welcome and invite you to visit
our spectacular community to
see why Terrace is considered
the heart of Northwest BC.
MAYOR CAROL LECLERC
A Message from
the Mayor of
Terrace
Our beautiful city, a jewel ringed by mountains, gets its name
from the terraces carved by glaciers that moved through the
Skeena River Valley thousands of years ago. The First Nation
people of the area are one of the oldest populations still
occupying the same land as their ancestors, which is why our
community is so rich in Aboriginal history, culture and art.
Terrace boasts year-round recreational opportunities for the
whole family. The choices are endless: world-class fishing on
the Skeena River, hiking trips through the backcountry, cycling
along city paths or mountain biking down steep terrain. Go
golfing at the base of a majestic mountain, raft down a raging
river, or ski exhilarating slopes or along peaceful Nordic trails.
A Message from
OVERLOOKING TERRACE

your new home, you’ll find a welcoming community and
discovery in every direction.

George Little House
Uncovering Terrace’s Roots
In the spring of 1905, George Little left the
hustle and bustle of the Yukon Gold Rush
and snowshoed over the Kitimat Trail to
the shores of the Skeena River. As he gazed
over the magical vista he envisioned a life
of opportunity. When the government
opened the land for sale George staked his
claim on acres including the site, which
Terrace stands today. He established a
homestead and sawmill in response to the
needs of the new railway and donated nine
acres of land so a new railway station could
be built, transforming Terrace into a busy
commercial hub. George married Clara
Beste in 1912 and together they raised a
family of five children. Nearly one year
before his death in 1955, George rode the
first Canadian National Railway train to
make the Terrace – Kitimat run over the
route he first snowshoed nearly half a
century earlier.
Several years ago, the City of Terrace
restored George Little’s home to its original
state and moved its location to the bottom
of Kalum Street. The building that was
once home to our city’s founder, now
welcomes train passengers as the VIA
Rail Station. Here you’ll also find local
handicrafts, cultural artifacts, and antiques.
On Sundays in the summer be sure to
peruse the Flea Market full of eclectic
finds and hidden treasures. Founder’s Day
is celebrated every March in honour of
George Little.
GEORGE LITTLE HOUSE
scene through my eyes
TIP: For the soul of the Skeena look to the totem carvings,
listen to the songs and drumbeats and marvel at the artistic
genius of the Tsimshian, ancient people of the “River of Mists.”
KALUM LAKE g. genge
High in the coastal mountains of
Northwestern British Columbia, at
the edge of the Spasizi Plateau, the
Skeena River begins its 610 kilometre
run to the Pacific. Much like today,
the mighty Skeena has been the
region’s lifeline for millions of years.
The Tsimshian were the first people
to occupy the area more than 10,000
years ago and they depended on
the river for survival. At the turn of
the century the Skeena became an
important transportation artery for
pioneer settlers, traders and miners.
And so began the era of the riverboats
shipping valuable goods up and down
the river. Today you’ll find lone or
groups of fishers landing the big one
along the river banks or cruising the
currents in their boats.
SKEENA RIVER WEST
The Skeena River
Kalum Lake, located 25km north of Terrace,
is a great location to go canoeing, fishing, or
camping with your family. The campground
runs on a first come, first serve basis and
does not accept reservations.

TIP: The friendly staff at the Little
House provide a warm refuge and
wealth of information for both visitors
and locals alike. Be sure to drop by for
a good ol’ fashioned Terrace welcome.
You may even meet one of George
Little’s descendants.
George Little Park and Spirit Square
The Kwinitsa Foreman’s Residence and Grand Trunk Pathway
At the heart of the community is Terrace’s
landmark park, preserved in the memory of
the town’s founder, George Little. This central
gathering place celebrates its 100th year in 2011.
With lots of room to move and play, you can
throw a Frisbee or take a workout at the Green
Gym, the outdoor fitness training centre, while
the kids test their skills on the miniature skate
park and have fun in the playground. Centered
around amazing mountain ranges form a
majestic backdrop make it the perfect spot for
everything from small family picnics to large
community gatherings. centering around the
newly constructed Spirit Square and outdoor
stage. George Little Park is also the site of the
Public Library, Art Gallery, as well as, the Farmer’s
Market, which takes place on Saturdays from
May to October.
Explore the only residential building of the Canadian National Railway
known to survive the area. The Kwinitsa Foreman’s Residence was home
to a succession of foremen who worked at the Kwinitsa station (71.5 km
west of Terrace) and supported the rail line between Terrace and Prince
Rupert. In summertime indulge in a cool treat while enjoying the
mountain vista from the adjoining patio.
b. broderick
Throughout the summer months,
various events are held in George
Little Park which features local
musicians. For more information
please visit www.visitterrace.com
You can also take a stroll along The Grand Trunk Pathway, taken from
the name of the first railroad to forge across the north. Ideal for walking,
jogging, cycling or rollerblading, this 1.6 km paved walkway runs
parallel to Hwy 16 and features a series of interpretive signs that provide
interesting details on historical events and monuments. Locals call it ‘The
Millennium Trail’ as it officially opened in 2000.
Rosswood
Drive north on Hwy #113 for 43km’s
Discover the charm of Rosswood, a 45 minute drive North along the
Nisga’a Hwy 113. This neat little community is famous for the crystal
clear mountain spring water flowing from their ‘Peeing Tree’, which is
said to have healing qualities to it. The area is home to hundreds of bald
eagles, spawning Salmon, swans and beautiful mountain vistas. Who
knows you might even catch a glimpse of a sneaky fox, wolves, moose, a
grizzly bear or even an elusive Kermodei bear. Kalum Lake is one of the
largest and deepest lakes in the area and his home to great fishing and
hosts a new boat launch. Kitsumkalum Provincial Park is located at the
south end of the lake and is considered a user maintained campground
and has no overnight fees. Stop by the General Store for a coffee and
snack, as well as, visit or stay at the Community Campground where you
may find the Archery Club in action.
Heritage Park Museum

family, an enormous bear skin, and the community’s first fire truck:
the strangely ordinary lives of early settlers in the Terrace area
are on display in the eight authentic log cabins at Heritage Park
Museum. Tour exhibits on mining, forestry, farming, trapping,
homesteading, and transportation. Trace the ecological history of
the area in the organic heritage garden, watch a demonstration in

The Old Bridge
22 km’s east of Terrace towards Kitwanga
Access the old bridge via Lakesle Ave
East of Terrace along Hwy 16 stands
the Usk Chapel, a charming little
replica of a church that was destroyed
in the great 1936 flood. While you’re
there be sure to take a ride on the Usk
Ferry, a rare reaction powered ferry
that travels across the Skeena River
to the rural community of Usk. Its
history dates back to 1912 with the
building of the right-of-way for the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
The Old Bridge is an historical feat
of engineering that once boasted
the title as the longest, single lane,
wood decked, curved bridge in North
America. Constructed to allow people
and vehicles to easily cross the Skeena
River, the rock outcroppings under the
bridge became a formidable obstacle for
the sternwheelers. As such, ringbolts
were anchored in the rocks to help the
riverboats navigate their way safely
through the canyon on their journey

The Northwest is home to a rich history of First Nations
culture that dates back to “time immemorial”. Many
opportunities exist to uncover authentic First Nations
experiences that are based on the traditional lifestyle. Visit
the Tsimshian communities closest to Terrace – the Kitselas
and Kitsumkalum. Take a day trip to visit the Haisla in
Kitimaat Village or to the Nass Valley where the ancient Lava
Beds and four Nisga’a villages are waiting to be discovered.
Kitsumkalum – The People of the Robin
Kitsumkalum is located just west of Terrace. As you cross
the Kalum River, its log and wood buildings immediately
catch your eye. Several buildings are inspired by traditional
longhouses but serve different purposes. The Kitsumkalum
are The People of The Robin and like all Tsimshian, the
traditional society is matrilineal, which means they are
organized according to the female side of the family.
At Kitsumkalum pop into The House of Sim-Oi-Ghets gift
shop and general store that specializes in aboriginal arts
and crafts. Adorning the storefront is a striking original

Gitselasu –
The People of the Kitselas Canyon
The language used in the Kitselas Nation is Tsimshian (symalgyax). The
coastal and inland dialects of the language differed only in the use of a
few words. There are four main clans. They are:

XX Gispudwada (Killerwhale)
The town of Kitselas Canyon, is a narrow
passage of the Skeena River defined by
tumultuous water and jagged cliffs. The
canyon is home to the Gitselasu, otherwise
known as the Kitselas people. The Kitselas
are one of seven Tsimshian First Nations
communities in Northwestern B.C. Some
remnants and residuum discovered
through Archaeological research and
excavations at the Kitselas Canyon have
been carbon-dated to 5,000+ years, thus
confirming occupancy of the Kitselas
Canyon area for at least that many years.
XX Laxgiboo (Wolf)
XX Laxsgiik (Eagle)
XX Ganhada (Raven)
The original villages in this area have long since been abandoned but in
recent years, the Gitselasu have developed the award-winning Kitselas
Canyon National Historic Site. Visitors on a guided tour can wander
through four thematic longhouse displays, a carving shed, animal
display, historical display and more. Free outdoor activities include
views of the longhouses, an interpretive nature trail that leads to the
canyon,6 totem poles, petroglyphs and a view of historic Ringbolt

The Nisga’a Museum
The Nisga’a Museum is a place of honour, respect, exploration, ideas, and artistic
expression. This museum and its collections are directly related to the historic Nisga’a
Treaty. The museum’s permanent collect is an assemblage of 300+ artifacts and art
objects that left the Nass (Lisims) Valley in the latter part of the 19th Century and early
part of the 20th Century. While many priceless heirlooms, ceremonial objects and
cultural icons were destroyed by missionaries during this tumultuous period several
works of art and cultural significance found their way into the collections of private
individuals and museums around the world. Their return to traditional Nisga’a land
is significant. Through the treaty process a select number of objects were identified
and chosen from the collections of the Royal British Columbia Museum and Canadian
Museum of Civilization to be repatriated to Nisga’a territory. This unique collection of
caved masks, bentwood boxes, headdresses, soul catchers, and other works of art became
known as Anhooya’ahl Ga’angigatgum’- the Ancestor’s Collection. This collection, and
its display, is a focal point within the museum. For more information regarding the
museum, including hours of operation and fees, please visit their website:

The community of Gitlaxt’aamix is
considered by many to be the “eye” of
the Nisga’a Nation since it is the home
of Nisga’a Lisims Government. In fact
the community itself is a testament to
the struggles of the people in securing
adequate services in health and
education. The Nisga’a Treaty signed
in 2000 was one of the first modern
day treaties signed in BC. From the
Nisga’a perspective a journey that
lasted 113 years. Now the people have
a foundation to build an economy and
a place to share their stories, culture in
a meaningful and respectful way with
visitors. While in the community check
out the Lisims Government Building
where the legislative chamber is shaped
like a cone reflecting the volcanic
explosion that permanently changed
the landscape of the valley, or the
foyer of the Gitlaxt’aamix Recreation
Center where four totem poles stand
to remind the community members
the value of working together, or take a
picture of the Old Community hall-one
of the very first public buildings built
without government contributions.
A true testament to the spirit of the
Nisga’a peoples “Common Bowl”
philosophy. Welcome to Gitlaxt’aamix

Kermodei Bear – A Legendary Mascot
Anyone who has set sight upon the revered white
Kermodei bear is one lucky soul. The Kermodei, also
known as the Spirit bear, ghost bear or Moksgm’ol in
Tsimshian, is unique to the North Coast rainforest and
sightings are rare. Even locals who have lived in the
region their entire lives have yet to catch a glimpse of
Terrace’s legendary mascot.
Get Back to
Nature
KERMODEI BEAR v. michel
TIP: As the city’s official mascot you will find statues of the animal, all
uniquely painted by local artists on display throughout the downtown and
along the Grand Trunk Pathway. You can also spot a white bear while
driving towards downtown on the Old Skeena Bridge. Hint: Just look up. 18 | toll-free 1-877-635-4944
First Nations legends recall the Kermodei as the spirit of
the rainforest. Long ago a raven changed the earth from
snowy white to forest green but didn’t want to forget
the past. So the raven changed every tenth black bear
into a white one to remember the world the way it had
once been.
KERMODEI BEAR v. michel
KERMODEI BEAR v. michel
What makes this white bear so intriguing is that it is a
black bear in every respect except for its bright coat of
fur. One might think that the bears are albinos but the
famous white fur comes from a recessive gene that both
parents must possess for their cub to be white.
The North Coast Rainforest
The lush habitat of the North Coast Rainforest is one of
the most spectacular ecologically diverse regions in the
world. Its proximity to the ocean and mountains provide
an abundance of precipitation giving life to the plants and
animals.
Tree species vary in composition but are all predominantly
coniferous with an understory of broadleaved trees and
shrubs. The Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock and Red Cedar
are the most common. An interesting feature to note is the
Nurse Log - a fallen tree that as it decays provide ecological
facilitation to seedlings.
About 100 species of vertebrates depend on the ancient
rainforest for survival. The most common large mammals
are the black-tailed deer, black bear, grizzly bear, gray wolf
and mountain goat.
In the autumn, the forest floor sprouts a wide variety
of wild mushrooms including golden chanterelles, king
boletes, morels, lobsters, oysters, pines and many more.
Whether for personal use or for profit, mushroom picking
is a very popular pastime.
kermodei tourism
KLEANZA CREEK
And if you are interested in the healing power of plants,
local First Nations prize devil’s club as one of the most
medically and spiritually important plants of the region.
The most common traditional uses are to treat infections
including tuberculosis and to treat acute and chronic
disorders including rheumatism, arthritis and gastrointestinal complaints.
m. turner
Other palatable forest finds include a wide varieties of wild
blueberries, bog cranberries, huckleberries and salmon
berries.
TIP: Biomass is the total weight of every living thing
in the forest. BC’s rainforests have more biomass
than any other forest on earth including tropical
rainforests. Visit Lakelse Lake Provincial Park and
Gruchy’s Beach to wander through an old growth
forest and view the spawning salmon.

GRUCHY’S BEACH
Wildlife Viewing and Etiquette
It’s a wild, wild world and when spring arrives it’s
common to see black bears while driving along the
highway and hiking the trails. While seeing a bear is
often a highlight, proper visitor behavior in bear country
is necessary.
XX Don’t surprise or approach bears. Bears will usually move out of the way
if they hear people approaching, so make noise and hike in groups.
XX Roadside bears. It’s exciting to see bears up close but we must act
responsibly to keep them wild and healthy. If you see a bear along the
road, please give them lots of space. Roadside bears quickly become
habituated to vehicles and people increasing their chances of being hit by
motor vehicles.
Other wildlife that you may encounter include grizzly
bears, moose, deer, coyotes, wolves, cougars, beavers,
mountain goats and more. Bald eagles can be spotted
most anywhere but particularly along the rivers and lakes.
There are also over 100 unique bird species including
Canada Geese, Osprey and the Trumpeter Swan, a
provincially blue-listed species.
In late summer, salmon spawning turns many clear
streams shades of pink such as Clearwater Creek. And
since the Skeena River leads to the Pacific Ocean you may
spot seals and otters in the river hunting for fish.

Today’s Fresh, Sustainable Catch:
Wild Salmon & Steelhead
Scenic beauty, a vast variety of waterways and a fleet of powerful fish make this region
an unparalleled destination for big scale adventures. Each year anglers are lured to
the Skeena Valley in the hopes of landing the big one and it’s a known fact that more
salmon and steelhead are caught in the Skeena River and its tributaries than any other
place in the world.
The fishing opportunities are diverse and last throughout the year depending on the
species and watershed. Steelhead fishing is prime in the early spring and late fall while
the summer offers a chance to catch all five species of Pacific salmon – King, Sockeye,
Coho, Pink and Chum. Trophy-sized trout such as Rainbow, Kokanee, Lake, Dolly
Varden, Mountain Whitefish, Lake Whitefish and Burbot can also be found in the lakes
year round.

XX The world record for catching (and releasing) a 99-pound Chinook Salmon is held by a
visiting German tourist who had her first fishing experience in the Skeena River in 2001.
XX In the summer of 2009, Ali Howard swam the length of the Skeena River, a 610-kilometre
journey from the headwaters to the Pacific Ocean just like a migrating salmon. Supported
by a team of experts, her goal was to raise awareness of the environmental threats to the
Skeena including coalbed methane drilling and pipeline development.

Summer Fun:
Biking in Terrace
Biking in Terrace is absolutely fantastic. Whether you ride Road, BMX, Trail or
Freeride/DH, we have it all.
If you are an intermediate/expert XC trail rider. You will love our 7.9 km Flathead
Trail. The trailhead is two minutes from downtown and you will ride all the way
around Terrace mountain top to bottom. This 5 year old trail will soon hook up to the
new Steinhoe Ridge trail system being developed that is also ridable in Demo form.
You can easily ride for three hours right from downtown and experience one of the
best emerging trail networks in BC. There are several beginner to Intermediate XC
trails in the area to choose from such as Spring Creek, Pine Lake and Red Sand and the
“in town” Howe Creek Trail and Ferry Island.
Our Downhill and Freeride area at Copper Mountain features trails for those who
want gravity to do the work. The terrain resembles the famous Northshore trails
in Vancouver. We can even accommodate XC trail riders who want a little gravity
experience on Packhorse. Full on Downhillers will like Lucky7 and the steep and tight
Freeriders will find on numerous trails to explore. This is a shuttle friendly area and
riders should have appropriate protection and bikes.

the world, the Terrace area is home to
top-class runoff. That means a great
river running season April to November.

the world. Be sure to check out Copper
River and Williams Creek. Rapid, The
Whitewater Magazine voted Terrace the
‘Best Creeking Town’ in 2010.
On a hot summer day, visitors
craving a dip can cool off
in a variety of refreshing
lakes within minutes from
downtown. The expansive
Lakelse Lake has a few popular
picnic areas and beaches south

a more intimate environment.
If your style is a bit more
rustic and private, take the
short trek to Red Sand lake or

Summer Fun: Action
Kite Board / Wind Surf
This thrilling sport is picking up
speed both on the Douglas Channel
and Lakelse Lake. The advantageous
position of Terrace and Kitimat allows
for thermal winds and northerly
outflows just like other world-class kite
and wind surf destinations.
There are a number of different styles
of kite boarding including freestyle or
wake-style and all you need is wind and
space. The beauty of this sport is that
it can be enjoyed all year round. In
the winter you’ll find die-hards turning
their boards in for skis to hit the powder
on a frozen lake or in the peaceful
expanse of the backcountry.

To the North:
To the East:
GITANYOW - Make sure to visit Gitanyow
(Kitwancool), located 15 km north of
Kitwanga along Hwy 37 North. Here lie some
of the oldest-known and largest collection
of totem poles in B.C. Some of these poles
were painted by Emily Carr in 1928. The area
features a small museum as well.
www.tourismsmithers.com
www.hazeltonstourism.ca
STEWART AND HYDER, ALASKA - The drive on
Hwy37 North is very scenic with towering
mountains, the Salmon Glacier and tons of
wildlife. Known as Canada’s northernmost
ice-free port, Stewart is on the United States
border, just minutes away from Hyder, Alaska.
It is one of the only places in the world where
you can see glaciers up close. A popular
activity is visiting the only bar in Hyder (don’t
worry you can’t miss it) and getting Hyderized
- one strong shot of liquor. You can also
visit Fish Creek to watch grizzly bears from a
viewing platform feast on salmon.
STEWART-CASSIAR HWY 37 NORTH TO DEASE LAKE At the Meziadin Junction continue driving
north to Dease Lake. En route access two of
Canada’s largest parks, the Spatsizi Wilderness
Park and Mount Edziza Park. Drive the road
to Telegraph Creek, an extraordinary winding
road through river canyons and lava flows
and visit Tahltan communities.
SMITHERS
HAZELTONS - Monolithic
mountain peaks meet the
sky. Located under 2 hrs or
142 km east of Terrace, the
Hazeltons are a gateway
to magnificent scenery
including the 1000 metre
walls of the rugged Rocher
de Boule range.
SMITHERS - Two and half
hours or 206 km east of
Terrace lies the quaint
alpine community of
Smithers. Set in the Bulkley
Valley at the foot of
Hudson Bay Mountain, the
town flourishes with rural
warmth and hospitality.
Just east of Smithers is
Telkwa, nestled on the
banks of the Bulkley
and Telkwa Rivers, the
charming historical
village borders Tyhee Lake
Provincial Park.

PRINCE RUPERT - You haven’t seen true
natural beauty until you’ve taken the
drive from Terrace to Prince Rupert,
one of the most memorable on the
planet. The 147 km journey winds
along the banks of the mighty Skeena
River through lush mountains drizzling
with waterfalls in the spring, dazzling
with snow in the winter, and covered
with green fauna and flowers in the
summer.
SKEENA RIVER
The ocean town of Prince Rupert is an
old fishing village set with funky old
homes on curving streets. Stroll the
docks to check out the fishing vessels
and crews, buy fresh seafood and
souvenirs in the quaint tourist area,
Cow Bay.

KITIMAT
KITIMAT - is located just 60 km south of Terrace.
Their unique location at the head of the
Douglas Channel makes it a sport fisher’s
paradise with access to salt and fresh water
fishing within minutes of down town. Fish the
mouth of the Kitimat River in a jet boat, fish the
length of the river in a drift boat or drive to a
secluded hot spot along the river.
The Douglas Channel offers opportunities

salmon, shrimp and crab. Don’t forget your
camera! The opportunity to observe wildlife,
big and small will present itself when you least
expect it.
Done fishing? Stop by the Sam Lindsay Aquatic
Centre where you can soak in the hot tub or
enjoy the water park, lazy river and water slide.
Canada Day Celebrations on July 1st include

fair, helicopter rides and afternoon stage show.
