May 1st Opening Day for North Pacific Cannery Historical Site

Opening Day for North Pacific Cannery Historical Site 
is not too far away as the popular tourism site prepares to make
its return following a two year COVID shutdown

It's been closed for over two years as COVID charted its own course of mayhem on local tourism, but as we count down the days to the end of this week, the reopening for the North Pacific Cannery Historical Site is just over the horizon.

The region's top tourist attraction in Port Edward will reopen the doors for the 2022 season on May 1st, marking day one of the four month season for both local residents and visitors the the Northwest.

Open Tuesday's to Sunday in May, June and September and 7 days a week in July and August. 

The Schedule of Admission fees has been posted to the North Pacific Cannery Historical Site website, offering a range of options from single admission to tour groups.

Heather Hadland-Dudoward is the new General Manager for the popular North Coast destination and recently North Pacific issued a call for employees as they ramp up operations and take to preparation for the re-opening after the two year hiatus.

You can check in with them by email to see if any positions are still available.

The District of Port Edward is rightfully proud of the Historical site and the volume of visitors that it brings to the community annually, and Mayor Knut Bjorndal hailed the reopening as part of his April message to residents.

Of note for visitors this year is that the BC Transit service to the site has been ended, that announcement was part of a review of Transit service earlier this year. 

Transportation services to North Pacific should be a topic that Port Edward, Prince Rupert and Regional District officials may want to review and find new funding towards. 

That as a way to help ensure that the Historical site finds success as it relaunches its operations for 2022.

Catch up on some of the changes to North Pacific from their Facebook page and website.
