A new outdoor classroom is opening a world of new learning opportunities for Lax Kxeen Elementary School students and the surrounding community. The covered structure was built through a partnership between our Community Investment Fund and @RupertSchools, and together we celebrated its completion by handing out special treats on Halloween.
The new sheltered space encourages students and educators to take their lessons outside, where they can experience their surroundings in a unique, safe, and accessible environment. It also provides a new place for local daycares and other community groups in #PrinceRupert to meet for outdoor activities, rain or shine. Learn more about the project at RupertPort.com/news

We partner with all levels of government to build our Port and strengthen our community. Over the past 15 years, the Canadian and BC Government have been involved in PRPA’s port development vision with critical infrastructure investments in Fairview Container development, Ridley Island rail infrastructure, the Fairview Connector Road, and future logistics operations—all of which unlock the private sector investment that has created jobs, economic opportunity and tax base. Read more about the economic benefits at link in bio.
Our partnerships with First Nations are paramount to the success of the Prince Rupert Gateway, where 38 percent of the local workforce is Indigenous. Working together and fostering our relationships, we are creating new jobs and opportunities for Indigenous people, communities and Indigenous-led businesses, like Coast Tsimshian Northern Contractors Alliance and Gat Leedm Trucking and Logistics. Read more at link in bio.
Our skilled and dedicated people are the most essential resource at our Port. We have a strong working relationship with local labour unions, and together we have strengthened the workforce in our community. For example, the longshore workers and forepersons from ILWU Locals 505 and 514 worked a combined 1.4 million hours in 2021 versus 453,000 in 2011! Read more about the 213% job growth over the past decade at link in bio.
