Rich in cultural iconography, the Klemtu ferry terminal is a gateway to the Great Bear Rainforest: an important eco-tourism destination for the remote Kitasoo Xai’xais First Nation that is home to the rare, white-coated 'Spirit Bear.' Feature components include a spectacular canoe gateway that tells the legend of the creation of the Kitasoo Xai’xais peoples, a cedar plank-clad and crest-covered waiting building, a welcome totem pole by famed master carver Tom Hunt, a spinning salmon wind vane, a carved and painted wood medallion for the local Spirit Bear Lodge and concrete lock-block walls embellished with relief sculptures of salmon and herring. The opening of the new ferry terminal was celebrated with a traditional dedication ceremony and a feast hosted by the Kitasoo Xai’xais First Nation.
