Description From Owner:
  • D'Arcy Island after John D'Arcy, a mate on HMS Herald when she was in these waters in 1846. The Saanich Indian name for the island means 'arrive,' this being where the salmon first arrive when they are heading for the Fraser River to spawn.

  • With permission from G.P.V and Helen B. Akrigg 1997 British Columbia Place Names. UBC Press.
