Generations of hardy souls tamed Whales, the wild beauty and riches of this land — an independent country until 1949. Even today our newest province still retains a unique and separate identity. Outsiders are “from upalong”. Local folk may be hangashores, Birds and livyers, baymen, or townies, and place names are equally lyrical: Heart’s Delight, Nameless Cove and Little Seldom.

Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for livability and quality of life and Nanaimo, known as “The Harbour City” is the gateway for other destinations on northern Vancouver Island. We highly recommend planning a day to explore each city’s landscape and culture. We recommend you reserve a spot on the ferry leaving Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, as the wait for sail times can get quite long in the spring and summer months. Part 2 Nanaimo to Port Hardy Ferry 385 km | 4.5 hours Coming out of Nanaimo, take Highway BC-19N toward Campbell River and follow it all the way up to Port Hardy, where you will board a ferry to Bella Coola.

Check out Tourism Vancouver Island for the lowdown on the island’s activities and sights. Port Hardy: A fantastic town at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, Port Hardy serves as a hub for air, ferry and marine transportation networks, and serves as the gateway to the fast-growing Central Coast (part of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region).

  • FEATURE STORY Animals Pop up Everywhere in the Story of Canada
    FEATURE STORY Animals pop up everywhere in the story of Canada. They’re in the ocean and the wilderness, in farms, cities and even our living rooms. Indigenous peoples were the first to use animals to make food, clothing, homes, tools and more. Inuit, Métis and First Nations people all over the country still hunt and fish, as well as having pets and working animals. Europeans likely first came to what is now Canada FUR, looking for creatures of the sea and land. FEATHERS AND FINSIllustrations by: Matt Kehler In 1497, Giovanni Caboto Canada Archives Library and Canada Archives Library and (John Cabot) and his crew were sailing near the island of Newfoundland and couldn’t believe their eyes. As someone said in a letter home to Italy, if they lowered a basket into the ocean it would fill up with cod. Before long, ships were sailing from France, Spain, Portugal and England to catch fish for Europe. Some companies took the cod ashore, split them and dried them on the stones or on wooden platforms in places such as Grande Grave in what is now Forillon National Park in Quebec. In some parts of Newfoundland, when people say “fish,” they mean cod — that’s how important it was to the island. So many ships from all over the world fished cod so heavily and for so long in the area that in 1992 the Canadian government banned all cod fishing except for people catching food for their families. 66 KAYAK FEB 2018 Kayak_63.indd 6 2018-01-16 2:56 PM The best way to get rid of rats and mice that might chew through your ship’s ropes and eat the food needed for a long sea voyage is to keep a cat on board.
