The Kwinitsa Railway Station was a station
located on the Grand Trunck Pacific Railway. There were 400
identical stations built in 1911. Today only 4 exists. The Kwinitsa
station was moved to Prince Rupert in 1985 from its original
location 45 miles east of Prince Rupert to save it from being
demolished.
The station has now been restored to its original state, and
has become a museum, which is now located on Prince Rupert’s
beautiful waterfront. The museum features the agent’s
office with telegraph equipment, kitchen & pantry. There
is also a living area and freight room/bunk house. |

Historic Cow Bay has become one of Prince
Rupert’s most attractive areas for shopping and relaxation.
This sheltered bay was once the area where mother Killer Whales
could be seen nursing their young, is now a charming marina
with moorage for yachts and fishing vessels. The boardwalk joins
picturesque shops that offer a wide variety of food, gifts,
and clothing. It also provides two bed and breakfasts for those
who would take advantage of the breathtaking view of the waterfront.
And a neighbourhood pub with a deck overlooking the water for
those who care to relax while enjoying the flight of eagles
and the design of starfish.
The aesthetic and serene area of Prince Rupert is also the sight
of art galleries providing the likes of many different tastes.
An actual studio where local native designs are carved and painted
is offered, as well as art reflecting the nautical theme of
the city. Cow bay is a delight to any visitor as well to the
local residents. |
