#visitprincerupert #explorebc #hellobc #princerupert #explorecanada #britishcolumbiaDiscover the thrill of the Eulachon run
Mid February through March are the best times to witness the Skeena Eulachon harvest. Take in the stunning scenery along the Skeena River as you watch eagles and seagulls swoop down to catch fish, and view the giant sea lions who have made their way upstream to feed on the abundant Eulachon.
Eulachon are culturally, economically and environmentally significant for coastal Tsimshian people, as the fish can be processed and eaten in a number of ways. Most famously, these fish are rendered in large vats to make a product called ḵ’awtsii- Eulachon grease.
For more information on the magnificent Eulachon run, visit the blog on our website under “Wildlife Viewing”. @brandonbroderick

Service Park sits on a hillside surrounded by floral shrubs, rock cliffs, and hanging trees, making it the perfect backdrop for two towering totem poles. This is a beautiful place to sit and take in the views.
