Stewart's original firehall circa 1912. This building is now home of Stewart's popular museum. Inside, you will find information relating to Stewart's early days, mining and a series of posters, etc. relating to many of the movies that have been shot in Stewart.

The Stewart Information Centre was constructed during 1996. A popular place for tourists and locals alike, browse through the information held within and take time to walk on the boardwalk and enjoy the beauty of the Portland Canal.

The Marmot Trading Centre, located on main street is now a gift shop. Originally, this building, now restored to its earlier appearance, was a supply shop.

The Ripley Creek Inn is located on Main Street a block down from the King Edward Hotel and Motel. The rooms within the Ripley Creek Inn have been restored to original. Here is a shot of this famous inn in the winter.

Stewart is located at the end of the Portland Canal. Whales have been seen swimming in the canal from time to time. The Portland Canal is Canada's Most Northerly Ice Free Port and can accommodate almost any ship. The eagle perched on top of the post appears to be waiting for something.

Fishing anyone? These folks are enjoying the incredible scenery available from the water. They are fishing from their canoe; wonder what they caught!

Some fishers stand at the mouth of Bear River to catch Coho Salmon, or "Pinks". If you visit us in the winter, try some ice fishing at Meziadin Lake. In the summer time, bring your own boat or try your luck with one of our many fishing charter companies.

Like any other place in Canada, Stewart also celebrates July 1st! Our parades may not be as long as those in the larger cities but our patriotism is just as large. Since Stewart is located so close to Hyder, Alaska we hold July 1st to 4th activities; always fun for all age groups. Come and join us!

Every second year, Stewart hosts a rodeo. Cowboys come from all over to compete. Next rodeo date to be announced.

The scenery surrounding Stewart is bountiful and majestic. The following pictures will give an idea of the majesty of the mountains, the ice-chilling beauty of winter and the splendor of the spring as it breaks into summer.

This picture was taken from the top of one of the local areas and shows the expanse of the townsite of Stewart and as well, an indication of the beauty that surrounds us. Also view this picture of the townsite.

Bears are often viewed around Stewart and area. The first photo shows a mother bear showing her cubs how to fish for salmon. This can be seen often at the Bear Viewing platform in Hyder during the summer months. The second picture was taken around Stewart as well, often, Bears are seen within Stewart and Hyder.

If you travel through Hyder, Alaska and then travel back into BC, you will arrive at the Salmon Glacier. This glacier is the 9th largest in the world and is the only glacier that has ever been traversed. Many miners have travelled back and forth over the glacier, taking their pack horses laden with supplies to their mining camps. Although the glacier is not as large as it used to be, it is still a sight to behold.

Winter brings many beautiful showcases. Some pictures were taken at our annual tree lighting which is held in December.

The Boardwalk is situated over the estuary. It is a great walk for viewing birds or just to get a little touch of nature. You'll find more photos of the Boardwalk by following link at the bottom of this page.
