On this National Indigenous Peoples Day, as we honour the memories of Indigenous children buried at the sites of former residential schools, we celebrate the strength, wisdom, and resilience of Indigenous people. We will continue to listen and learn, and to show our deepest respect and appreciation for the contributions of Indigenous voices and histories.
We operate on the traditional lands of the Ts’msyen people, whose rich culture, language, and knowledge is celebrated by all of us at the Prince Rupert Port Authority. These two welcome poles were carved by Ts’msyen artist Michael Epp as part of a new art installation at Prince Rupert Regional Airport.
The pole on the right depicts a human figure with a paddle and nine symbolic human figures above it, representing the Nine Allied Tribes of Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla. The pole on the left depicts the four crests: eagle, raven, wolf, killer whale, with a Sm’ooygit or chief at the base with his hand outstretched in a welcoming gesture. The artwork is jointly owned by Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams and was funded by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and DP World.
Air and water quality are monitored around-the-clock at the Port of #PrinceRupert. Meet our Environmental Coordinator who helps ensure that accurate, real-time data is publicly available 24/7.

The Port of #PrinceRupert is now home to the largest quay crane in Canada!
The new crane arrived at DP World Fairview Container Terminal early this morning after a month-long journey from Shanghai. It was transported across the Pacific alongside three other cranes bound for the United States.
The crane, which is equipped to service the largest vessels afloat today, took 18 months to construct. It is the eighth crane at Fairview Terminal. Stay tuned for more images from the big delivery!
