Sustainability

Support Local

Eat, drink, & sleep local

When you eat, drink, and stay local, you help reduce the environmental impact of your trip and support the people who call Terrace home. Choosing local businesses, accommodations, and guides supports the economy and helps lower carbon emissions by reducing the need to transport goods long distances.

Whether you’re enjoying farm-fresh produce at a local market, sipping a beer from our local brewery, or staying with a local host, your visit can make a real difference. Supporting local means more than spending money—it’s about connection and community.

Health, safety & accessibility

Adventure here can be wild. The weather changes fast, cell service can be spotty, and the terrain is no joke. Plan ahead. Pack food, water, a map, first aid, warm gear, and something to call for help if needed.

Be kind to others. Respect accessible features like parking spaces and ramps. On trails, people using mobility aids have the right of way. Cyclists yield to everyone. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Forest, fish & fire safety

Let’s all do our part to keep this place wild and clean. Pack out your garbage, recycle where you can, and don’t leave a trace behind.

Fire season is real in BC. Even if Terrace has been lucky in the past, the risk is growing. Keep fires small, follow local fire bans, and make sure your fire is out cold before you walk away.

Respect wildlife. Don’t feed animals or get too close. If you’re fishing or hunting, follow all local regulations and obtain the proper licenses before you head out.

Be a good guest of the land

Terrace is known for its space and quiet, but we still ask that you tread lightly. Stay on trails, leave things the way you found them, and if you post photos online, skip the exact location tags—some places need privacy to stay protected.

This is the traditional territory of the Ts’msyen people, including the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations. Indigenous communities have cared for this land long before any of us were visitors here. Take time to learn, listen, and show respect.

Keep pets leashed unless otherwise posted, follow property signage, and dispose of waste properly in animal-proof bins. It’s all part of being a good neighbour.
