Closed for the season

Thank you to everyone who visited us at Tyhee Lake Provincial Park this summer, supported our students, tried something new, shared a post, brought friends and family, or simply stopped by to say hello. Every purchase helped support something much bigger than a summer canteen & concession.

Frozen North is a non-profit, youth-focused business training and entrepreneurship program operated by the Smithers District Chamber of Commerce. Throughout the season, our students gained hands-on experience in customer service, food preparation, inventory, marketing, local procurement, partnerships, teamwork and the realities of operating a small business.

Our program also celebrates the local circular economy, connecting customers with products from local and regional farmers, food producers, makers and businesses while promoting local food, sustainability, active living and community connection.

Despite some weather challenges this season and bears hanging around in the last week, our students kept showing up, learning and serving our community right through to our final day.

To our customers, partners, producers, students and everyone who championed Frozen North this summer: THANK YOU. Your support made this learning opportunity possible and helped us invest directly in local youth and our regional economy.

Frozen North 2026 is officially closed for the season. See you next summer! 🤍
