Powell River, Industrial port city in British Columbia, Canada.
Located on the eastern shores of Malaspina Strait, Powell River extends across 28.91 square kilometers at an elevation of 50 meters above sea level.
The settlement transformed into a major industrial center after 1910 when the construction of a pulp and paper mill established the foundation of the local economy.
The Patricia Theatre stands as Canada's longest continuously operating cinema, presenting films and performances since the early days of Powell River's establishment.
Transportation to Powell River requires careful planning as the city connects to Vancouver and Vancouver Island through scheduled ferry services and regional flights.
The first credit union in British Columbia opened in Powell River during 1939, initiated by local mill workers to support the community's financial needs.
