Stewart, District municipality in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
Stewart stands at the head of Portland Canal, functioning as Canada's northernmost ice-free port while bordered by Alaska's Misty Fiords National Park.
The Nisga'a people named the Portland Canal area Skam-A-Kounst and utilized these lands for seasonal berry gathering and bird hunting activities.
The municipality maintains local traditions through regular community meetings, water system management, and implementation of development plans for its 517 residents.
Visitors access Stewart via Highway 37A from British Columbia's main road network, through Portland Canal by boat, or by air through Stewart Airport.
The exterior scenes of John Carpenter's film The Thing were recorded within the nearby Salmon Glacier, establishing Stewart's connection to cinema.
