Queen Charlotte City
Queen Charlotte City (population: 948) is located in Bearskin Bay on the southern shore of Graham Island. It is part of the archipelago known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, or Haida Gwaii. Sleeping Beauty Mountain rises up behind it. The town is the administrative centre for the Queen Charlotte Islands and contains more shops and services than its small size would suggest. The moist, mild climate allows for lush vegetation and abundant wildlife. Most people visit to experience the natural beauty and the rich Haida culture that flourishes here.
