footnotes = Port Clements is a village situated at the east end of Masset Inlet on the Queen Charlotte Islands off the coast of the Province of British Columbia in Canada.Founded by Eli Tingley in 1907, it was once known under the name Queenstown, but renamed to Port Clements in 1914 after Herb S. Clements, a local MP, when the name "Queenstown" duplicated and therefore became unusable for the post office. [ [http://www.portclements.com The Village of Port Clements - History] ]

The highway leading to Port Clements from Tlell and from Port Clements to Masset was paved in 1969 and soon after completion the village became incorporated in 1975.The other main road that heads west to Juskatla Camp and back south to Queen Charlotte City is still gravel and mainly a logging road only open to public traffic after working hours.

Port Clements was and still is to a lesser extent the centre of the remaining logging on northern Graham Island.In this community 29.2 % of the labour force is working in the forest industry. [ [http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/DATA/DD/facsheet/CF282.pdf BC Stats community facts - Port Clements] ]
Most of the processing takes place in Juskatla Camp.

Past tourist attractions were the Golden Spruce, cut in 1997 and the White Raven, which has died. Today, Port Clements and the nearby Yakoun River mouth attract visitors intending to fish for steelheads, chinook and other salmon or to go kayaking. [ [http://www.britishcolumbia.com/regions/towns/?townID=3886 BritishColumbia.com - Regions & Towns - Port Clements] ] There are a few camp and picnic sites as well as hiking trails in and around Port Clements.

Port Clements also has one gas station, one grocery store, a public library, a Canada Post office, a bar, a museum, a motel, a grade school, a church and a wharf. Businesses include mechanics, small farmers and forestry contractors.
