Northern Routes

Northern Routes is a curated collection of cultural destinations across Northern British Columbia, designed to connect travellers with the region’s rich arts, heritage, and community stories. Rather than a single location, it brings together museums, galleries, and historic sites that collectively showcase the identity and history of the north.

Spanning communities like Prince George, Mackenzie, Valemount, and Fort St. James, Northern Routes highlights a diverse range of experiences—from contemporary art and Indigenous culture to gold rush history and railway heritage. Visitors can explore places such as Two Rivers Gallery, The Exploration Place, and Barkerville Historic Town & Park, each offering a unique perspective on the people and landscapes that shaped the region.

Rooted in collaboration, Northern Routes is an initiative that brings together cultural institutions to create meaningful, educational, and interactive experiences. Whether stepping into a living history site, discovering local artists, or learning about northern industries and communities, the network invites visitors to explore Northern BC through its stories, creativity, and heritage.
