Live Work and Play
Live, Work, and Play in Prince Rupert British Columbia – Where Canada’s Wilderness Begins.

The City of Prince Rupert remains at the edge of wilderness, secure in a sheltered inner harbour and protected by a rim of islands along the famed Inside Passage. The island community is ideally situated on British Columbia's beautiful North Coast, only a short distance from the Queen Charlotte Islands and Ketchikan Alaska, and is easily accessible by air, rail, cruise ship, ferry, car, or rv.

Visitors often comment on the rich cosmopolitan culture found in the city and the community is home to a diverse group of people, with varied interests. Superb museums and outstanding attractions defy the small population and remote location, and daily life is enriched by an extraordinary visual and performing arts community.  The exceptional wildlife viewing, phenomenal sportfishing, top notch attractions, and extensive options for outdoor activity make Prince Rupert the ideal choice for a family vacation, a corporate retreat, or a solo getaway.  For trip planning information, visitors should contact the Visitor Centre or visit Tourism Prince Rupert’s website at www.tourismprincerupert.com.

For those interested in permanently enjoying life on the coast, Prince Rupert couldn’t be a better choice. Water views, easy access to the ocean and the surrounding natural environment, together with employment and opportunity in sectors including shipping and trade, tourism, seafood and forestry, make Prince Rupert the perfect place to pursue a balanced lifestyle.  An active business community, provides newcomers with many opportunities to make business contacts and new friends.

Work really does meet play in Prince Rupert where many finish off a day at work with a round on the centrally located golf course or out on the water kayaking, fishing, or just taking in the scenery.  Reasonable housing costs allow residents to enjoy a million-dollar lifestyle without the big price tag.  Organized sports, volunteer associations, modern recreation facilities, community groups and festivals all contribute to a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle for those living in this community of 15,000.

Prince Rupert boasts all the amenities of a municipal centre while still retaining its small town charm and new developments promise to bring a new era of prosperity to the scenic oceanside community.  Those looking to explore investment opportunities should contact the Prince Rupert Economic Development Corporation.

Offering a unique and exciting wilderness experience, Prince Rupert is the ideal spot for a relaxing vacation and is a community where achieving a balanced lifestyle really is just par for the course.
