The City of Prince Rupert has released its 2025 Annual Report, giving residents an overview of the municipality’s finances, major projects and strategic priorities from the past year.
The report was presented following Monday night’s council meeting and includes audited financial statements, community enhancement grant information and updates on council’s strategic goals. Residents will have an opportunity to review the report and provide feedback during the city’s Annual Public Meeting on Jun. 29 at 7 p.m. in council chambers.
Mayor Herb Pond said the report provides an opportunity to reflect on the city’s progress while looking ahead to future priorities.
“This is our yearly opportunity to take stock of where we’ve been, and where we’re headed,” Pond said.
The report highlights several accomplishments from 2025 and early 2026, including the opening of the new RCMP detachment, the addition of a peace officer to support community safety, updates to city policies, development of an Indigenous Cultural Safety Program and completion of a Climate Adaptation Plan.
It also outlines progress on major infrastructure projects, including the city’s BIG Project to replace priority water and sewer mains, ongoing water and wastewater treatment initiatives and the relocation of the Public Works yard. Housing development, economic growth and financial sustainability remain key priorities identified throughout the report.
The report notes that the city has also benefited from funding through the Resource Benefits Agreement and from continued redevelopment efforts on Watson Island, both of which are supporting infrastructure investments and other community projects.
Residents attending the June 29 public meeting will receive a presentation on the report’s key findings before a public comment period.
