This Spring Break, Prince Rupert Recreation invites you to partake in the Great Green Gumboot Hunt! The event will run from Sunday, March 14th to Sunday, March 28th. During this time, use the clues provided to search for the hidden green gumboot at different sites around the community. Clues will be announced on the Prince Rupert Recreation’s Facebook page at 10am on Sundays and Thursdays (March 14th, 18th, 21st, and 25th).

The City’s Finance Department gave the community a first glance at the proposed Operational Budget for 2021 at the March 8, 2021 Council meeting. This year’s budget proposes no increase to the residential mill rate, and reserving the surplus derived from new taxation resulting from industrial builds for future emergency and/or planned asset renewal.

Update March 18, 2021: The comment period has now closed.

Please note that due to continued high turbidity, the Water Quality Advisory issued October 31st for the City of Prince Rupert’s most sensitive water users remains in effect.  Northern Health recommends that children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with weakened immune systems drink boiled water at this time.
