Helliwell Provincial Park

Helliwell Provincial Park occupies a headland at the northeast end of Hornby Island in British Columbia above the Strait of Georgia. Formerly an Acton family farm, the land was donated by J. L. Helliwell and established as a provincial park on September 16, 1966, then expanded to include 2,872 hectares, including Flora Islet and part of Lambert Channel. The park is known for coastal bluffs, old-growth Douglas-fir, and rare Garry oak ecosystems. Its meadow and cliff microclimates support endangered habitat and nesting pelagic cormorants, while trails and simple facilities make it a place for hiking, canoeing, picnicking, sightseeing, and scuba diving.
