  With four distinct seasons and a culture of active living, Terrace offers activities year-round for residents and visitors of all ages.

Stop by Heritage Park Museum to participate in a local event or to better understand Terrace’s history. While we are proud of our small-town roots, we also deliver big on amenities including modern retail businesses, restaurants, and the largest farmers market in Northern BC.
