Visitor Services

In 2024, the Port Hardy Heritage Society took on an exciting new opportunity to run visitor services. We now operate from two locations: the Port Hardy Visitor Information Centre, 7250 Market Street, and the Port Hardy Museum and Archives, 7110 Market Street.

We have knowledgeable staff who are experts in the area who can help you plan your trip on the North Island. From hikes to whale watching, to learning about local heritage and enjoying local cuisine, the Visitor Centre can help you tailor your trip and start your adventure!

The Visitor Centre now includes an Art Gallery and Gift Shop featuring local indigenous artists. To integrate heritage into the visitor experience, we have a temporary exhibit area with rotating exhibits in the summer months, previously featuring stories such as the Carrot Campaign.

Feasibility Study

The Port Hardy Heritage Society hopes to one day have our two locations under one roof here in Carrot Park. We are hoping to build an arts, heritage, culture, and education hub for Port Hardy and the North Island. This building would be an incredible attraction that would welcome visitors into the rich culture of the North Island. Most importantly, it is for our community here in Port Hardy to have access to rich culture and heritage resources for all ages.
