Location of Port Hardy, British Columbia Port Hardy is a small community in British Columbia, Canada located on the north-eastern coast of Vancouver Island. Port Hardy has a population of 4500 at last census (2006). It is the gateway to Cape Scott Provincial Park on the northern most tip of Vancouver Island. Highway 19, which stretches from one end of Vancouver Island to the other, ends in Port Hardy, right near Rotary Park. This explains the town's motto, found on a sign entering town, that reads, "where the highway ends and the adventure begins." It is also known for its world class cold water scuba diving.

Filomi Days Once a year, Port Hardy holds a celebration in Rotary Park to acknowledge its natural resource based economy. The three syllables, fi, lo and mi, stand for "Fishing, Logging and Mining" or " WALKUS appreation day". The celebration includes festivities in the park such as activities for children, fundraising concessions, entertainment, beer gardens, a dunk-tank, balloons, bake sales, craft sales, and fireworks. A dance for each age group and a parade are also held on Filomi Days weekend- typically the 3rd weekend in July. but this year it was around the 20th.
Tourism Despite the available resource based jobs on Northern Vancouver Island, Port Hardy's economy depends greatly on tourism. Ferries to Prince Rupert, British Columbia , another popular tourist destination in British Columbia, depart every other day during peak season. also by piano lessons and working for the james walkus fishing co. Tourist traffic in the summer is immense, and hotels and restaurants usually find themselves with no room to accommodate all travellers. When travelling to Port Hardy in summer months, be sure to have reservations made well ahead of time with BC Ferries, as well as the hotel or hostel of your choice. most of them are pretty crapy, so its suggested that you come in a RV, Camper or stay with a friend. the most well known couple is Amanda and Kyle, they are famous acrobats and selll fruit out of the back of a icecream truck. they are former avalon students and love riding unicorns into the sunset Orthographic projection centred over Prince Rupert BC Coast, showing Prince Rupert and Vancouver Prince Rupert is a city in the province of British Columbia, Canada. ...
