For nearly a quarter century, White River Heli-
copter has serviced the flightseeing, heli-tours,
heli-fishing, oil and gas and mining explora-
tion and forestry industries in Northwestern
British Columbia. Over all that time, one thing
never changes: the transcendent feeling cli-
ents experience seeing the natural beauty of
the region from a helicopter.
W
hite River Helicopters cel-
ebrates 25 years in the indus-
try next year—a milestone the
team reflects on with great pride.
Headquartered on the west end ofTerrace,
B.C., minutes from the downtown core
and Northwest Regional Airport, White
River Helicopters was started by Sid Pel-
tier, to serve the communities and region
of the rugged BC north coast. This remote
region the company normally operates in
spans north to the Alaska border and into
the Stikine area, west to the port of Prince
Rupert, south down the Douglas channel
to the area around Klemtu and east into
the Bulkley Valley-Lakes District.
