The Big House is modeled on a traditional native dwelling, and is used for celebrations. Native dance performances by the T’sasala Cultural Group in the Big House.
Hikers love Alert Bay’s trails, especially the nearby Ecological Park. Trails twist through forests, over boardwalks and marshes. Descriptive signs explain the local fl ora and fauna.

Sointula
The protected, spacious moorage at Sointula has drawn mariners for over a century. Today, it’s the perfect place to relax, refi t, and prepare for your next adventure. The Malcolm Island Lions Club operates the dock facilities, which include showers and washrooms, a laundromat, garbage disposal, ice, electrical hook-up, winch and even repairs. At the top of the dock, a vendor provides tasty treats for tired sailors.
Located just a short 2 km walk from the docks, downtown Sointula has much in store. Stock up on groceries, enjoy local dining, and browse through many specialty stores and the museum. There are also medical facilities and a bank.
Nearby, trails lure nature lovers to explore the beauty of local beaches. Pulteney Point, a working lighthouse station, is a beautiful sight. The Mateoja Trail features the history of the fi rst Finns who arrived here, hoping to create an island utopia. Explore the area, and discover what they knew.

Nestled in a tiny inlet, the picturesque hamlet of Telegraph Cove began as a telegraph station in 1912. A boardwalk circles the sheltered cove, and many buildings are build on pilings extending over the water. Most of the buildings have historic importance, and plaques describe their history. 2012 will bring 100th anniversary celebrations to the Cove with events planned for the Canada Day long weekend. It is a popular destination, and a great launch place for adventures in the Broughton Archipelago. Fishing and wildlife viewing are popular here; charter a boat or hire a guide and explore the beauty of the Broughton! These waters are in fact famed for being the most predictable place to see killer whales in the world.
There are two privately-owned marinas boasting full facilities for boaters. The Telegraph Cove Marina offers moorage with power, a boat launch, fi sh cleaning stations, showers and washrooms, fresh water, laundry, accommodations, an RV park and a café. The Telegraph Cove Resort offers marine fuel, a general store and liquor outlet, a gift shop, showers and washrooms, laundry facilities, a restaurant and pub, accommodations, a campground and fi sh cleaning station.

Sport Fishing InformationFishing RegulationsThe nutrient-rich waters of the Pacifi c Ocean support an abundance of salmon, halibut, cod, shellfi sh and more. Experienced guides and charters are available to take you to the best fi shing areas.
Fishing licenses are required, and can be obtained through local vendors – try the local sporting goods store. Licenses can also be obtained online; contact Fisheries and Oceans for more information. Be sure to also get a copy of the fi shing regulations. See below.
Shellfi sh HarvestingShellfi sh are a tasty treat that can be locally caught. Cooking crabs and shrimp, as well as bivalves (meaning “two shells”) at the peak of freshness, is a culinary experience you won’t soon forget!
Bivalves like oysters, clams, and scallops, are periodically affected by algal blooms. These algae create biotoxins which build up over time in the body of the bivalve. The resulting “red tide”, or paralytic shellfi sh poison (PSP), can occur at any time of the year, depending on environmental conditions. At these times, the shellfi sh are toxic and sometimes fatal to humans. It can take up to two years for the toxins to be cleared from the animal, making it safe for human consumption. Anyone who feels ill after eating bivalve shellfi sh should seek immediate medical attention.
Be extremely cautious when harvesting bivalve shellfi sh. For more information on red tide outbreaks, contact Fisheries and Oceans – they will advise you which areas are “open” for bivalve shellfi sh harvesting. “Open” areas are safe harvest areas that are monitored and tested, and where it is legal to harvest bivalves. When an area is “closed”, it is illegal to harvest bivalves for any purpose without a special license.
Be aware too that there are limits on the type and number of shellfi sh that can be harvested. These limits are listed in the fi shing regulations available from Fisheries and Oceans.
Boating Safety RegulationsThe Safe Boating Guide has information on mandatory safety equipment required in Canadian waters. To get your copy, contact the Port Hardy offi ce of Fisheries and Oceans. Some of the equipment needed includes:
• Your vessel license and fi shing license;• Proof of operator competency;• An approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or lifejacket of appropriate size for everyone on board;• A buoyant heaving line at least 15m in length;• A manual propelling device (oar) or anchor with not less than 15m of rope, cable, or chain;• A sound-signaling device;• A water-tight fl ashlight or three Canadian-approved fl ares of type A, B, or C;• A bailer or bilge pump with enough hose to pump from the bilge of the vessel over the side; and• A class 5 BC fi re extinguisher for boats with inboard engines, fi xed fuel tanks, or cooling and/or heating appliances.

Peaceful Port Alice attracts fresh-air enthusiasts craving crowd-free access to the great outdoors. Perched on a pretty hillside facing the Neroutsos Inlet, this thriving community is the most southerly access point to Quatsino Sound and gives kayakers, scuba divers and charter fi shing crews access to the open Pacifi c.
The town is a base camp for expeditions via boat or logging road to such remote getaways as Side Bay, Gooding Cove, Harvey Cove, Brooks Peninsula and Klaskino Inlet. Public launching facilities in town offer easy ocean access for travelers towing their own boats. Or get out on the water with a charter fi shing or wildlife-viewing guide.
Cyclists of all skill levels tackle the trails of the Rumble Fest mountain bike race. Beginners and experienced riders alike gather in early June for the annual (since 1994) competition. The popular weekend event features challenging races, including one for kids, a salmon barbeque and the Funky Bike Olympics. Golfers head for the Port Alice Golf and Country Club, a challenging nine-hole course set against glorious mountain vistas; it once earned recognition from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! as the only course in the world requiring golfers to play
around or over an Anglican church (which has since been relocated).
The Tourism & Heritage Center offers information for travelers, a small gift shop stocked with souvenirs made by local artisans, and a well-documented look into Port Alice’s past. The town’s history dates back to the opening of a pulp mill circa World War I. It became the province’s fi rst instant municipality in 1965 when the town was relocated to its present site, and is today home to many of the workers at Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill, one of the North Island’s
leading employers.
Visitors to Port Alice will fi nd beautiful and modern B&B’s, vacation rental homes, a hotel, and a full-service campground. Services in town include a gas station, grocery, hardware, and liquor stores, a bank, and a variety of restaurants.
Enjoy strolling the Seawalk, a wheelchair-accessible pathway that follows the community’s coastline. Have a picnic, hike the short distance to Walk-out Island when the tide is low, and don’t forget your binoculars! Hundreds of species of birds visit Neroutsos Inlet throughout the year. These same waters are home to orca, humpback, and grey whales, California and Stellar sea lions, and migrating salmon.
Whether you’re a do-it-yourself adventurer, or simply seeking a quiet place to relax while surrounded by majestic west coast scenery, Port Alice is a community that will meet your expectations.

Diving & KayakingDiving
The clear, cold water around the North Island provides an awe-inspiring adventure for coldwater divers. Underwater walls glow in shades of pink, crimson, and purple, contrasting with the emerald green of the water. The diversity and colour of life is truly awe-inspiring – from large numbers of nudibranch species and rockfi sh to the remarkable wolf eel and the world’s largest octopus species.
Jacques Cousteau rated the North Island waters as second only to the Red Sea for its diversity of marine life and clear waters. Consistently the waters of British Columbia earn accolades by Scuba Diving Magazine as “best destination overall for diving in North America”; “healthiest marine environment in North America”; “best marine life in North America”; “best wall diving in North America ” . . . you get the idea and the further north you go on Vancouver Island, the better the marine life and visibility get.
The waters are cold, averaging 10°C, so full-body exposure protection is essential. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cold-water diver, local operators can provide lessons, equipment sales and rentals. It is recommended that you have dive masters serve as your guides to take you to the best spots while ensuring your safety.
From the concentration of dives in the Broughton and Blackfi sh Archipelagos, to the gardens of the west coast and expanses of life around Browning Pass area – the North Island offers endless dive opportunities.
Kayaking
Slipping silently through the water, kayaking allows you to explore Vancouver Island North and surrounding islands. Wildlife is abundant here, both in the water and onshore. Rustic campgrounds along the shoreline invite you to experience the wilderness like never before.
Weather and sea conditions can change rapidly, so training and experience are essential. For less-experienced kayakers, there are several companies that offer lessons, rentals, and guides to help you make the most of your experience. Experienced kayakers can fi nd a challenge around every corner while exploring the beauty of the North Island area from the water.
The protected waters of Storey’s Beach near Port Hardy are perfect for beginner kayakers of all ages. Explore the Broughton Archipelago from Port McNeill or Telegraph Cove. The Gordon Group of Islands and Quatsino Sound offer a challenge for adventurous souls. Come on out and play!

The area around Vancouver Island North is home to numerous species of whales, dolphins and porpoises in addition to seals and sea lions. Orcas, also known as killer whales, are among the most-recognized species. During the summer, the waters are patrolled by Straitwatch, who monitor whale watching activities and educate the public about these amazing animals.
The popularity of whale watching has led to regulations and guidelines meant to keep the whales safe. Under the federal Fisheries Act, it is illegal to disturb or molest whales, to chase, disperse, drive, or herd whales or pods. This applies to boaters, pilots, and people on shore and in the water. Fines of up to $500,000 and a two-year prison term could await offenders who harass whales.
Many organizations offer whale watching tours. Knowledgeable staff will help you to identify whales, take you to prime spots for viewing and enhance your experience further with sharing information about the species and their ecology. The Whale Interpretive Centre in Telegraph Cove includes an amazing museum – great for the whole family.
The following tips will help you make the most of your time with the whales. For more information, contact Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
• Avoid approaching closer than 100m to any marine mammal. If you fi nd yourself within 100m of a marine mammal, stop immediately and let them pass by. Use caution around any animals that seem tame – they are wild animals, and are unpredictable.
• When approaching whales, approach cautiously from the side rather than from in front or behind. Be careful not to get between females and their young, or between members of the same group. Do not disturb resting animals.
• Travel parallel to the whales and make sure your vessel is never within the whales’ path of travel. If you fi nd yourself in their path cautiously move out of the way before they get within 100 meters.
• Never feed or swim with marine mammals.• Limit the time you spend with any whale or group to 30 minutes. When leaving the area, start slowly and do not
accelerate until you are more than 400m away.• Always keep your speed lower than 7kts when within 400m of any marine mammal.• Power boat operators should shift into neutral or idle if you accidently fi nd yourself within 100m of any animal and if
possible turn your engine off. If you need to use the motor to maintain your position, do so slowly and with extreme caution.
For more information on responsible marine mammal viewing, see www.straitwatch.org and www.bewhalewise.org.
If you ever see a marine mammal that is dead, injured or in distress please call the BC Marine Mammal Response Network at 1-800-465-4336.
