About the event
Prince Rupert is a place of astounding natural beauty. It is the gateway to British Columbia’s vast wilderness and the home of humpback whales, harbour porpoises, killer whales, and more.
For many years, a group of Northern resident killer whales known as the A42s have thrilled residents and visitors alike by swimming through Prince Rupert Harbour every April.
On April 14th, join experts from Ocean Wise’s Coastal Ocean Research Institutes and the University of British Columbia to learn more about these amazing animals. In addition, there will be tons of activities for all ages, including information booths, activities, games, displays, and prizes!
