Terminal Development Plan for Graham Island (Skidegate)
The Skidegate terminal is the main gateway and connection between Haida Gwaii and Prince Rupert and an important link for connecting communities on Moresby Island and Graham Island. It also is the gateway into Haida Gwaii for tourists arriving from Sandspit Airport.
The Skidegate Terminal Development Plan (TDP) was approved in 2020. This document will guide future changes at the Skidegate terminal and provides the framework for the phased implementation of strategies and a series of initiatives for the next 25 years.
In developing the TDP we engaged with the community and key stakeholders to gather feedback, suggestions and ideas to help shape the design options for future Skidegate terminal improvements. This included community information sessions, stakeholder meetings and online engagement. We considered the feedback and refined the concepts into a preferred concept that is included in the TDP.
