Wildlife - definitely birds and fingers crossed for seals, sea lions, porpoises, wolves and grizzly or black bears!

Skeena Tributaries

A quick jaunt up one of the spectacular Skeena Tributaries is a great start to getting your camera finger warmed up! Full of waterfalls and towering mountains, these rivers seem to get better and better around every turn.

Musician Mark Perry - June 11 - 12, 2020

'A Mark Perry concert is like a Canadian roadtrip...

You’ll travel up the powerful Skeena river, face large wilderness fires, conquer elusive mountain peaks and tap into that feeling of loving or leaving the place where you live. Born and raised in Smithers BC, Mark draws inspiration from his love for rural Canada — the strengths, the struggles, and the impacts of the landscapes and the dramatic change of seasons. He tours and performs at festivals, theatres and community halls and makes every audience feel like they’re in his living room."
