The planning area is located approximately 130 km off the BC coast and 640 km north of Vancouver and is accessible by air and sea. The closest mainland transportation access is from Prince Rupert via BC Ferries. Haida Gwaii encompasses over 200 islands, totaling 3750 square miles, or 1,000,000 hectares with two developed islands.
The area is currently in the initial stages of their Destination Development Strategy planning. We are working with our partners in Haida Gwaii to create a dynamic strategy that will lead to implementation.
The planning area spans from the northern tip of the BC portion of the Alaska Highway (Highway 97) to the Yukon-BC border, south to Prince George and from the western edge of the Muskwa Kechika Management area and east to the Alberta border.
