Finally getting around to processing some images from a recent trip. Follow the link at the bottome to see the panorama.

This is the estuary of Wilson Creek at high tide — at low tide it’s a large mudflat. Beside the estuary is Port Stalashen, a gated community.

ts'uḵw'um is the shashishalhem name for Wilson Creek. The area was first homesteaded in the 1880s and became a steamship landing and logging settlement. It was named after James Wilson, a blacksmith for Burns and Jackson Logging, who had a camp here in the 1930s and 1940s. It is legally part of Sechelt.

Sechelt (ch’atlich) is located on the traditional territory of the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation. It’s the name of a people, a community, a peninsula, and an inlet.

The community of approximately 11,000 people sits on a narrow isthmus that separates the Sechelt Inlet from the Salish Sea. To get to Sechelt, you must take a 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale (and either drive, bike, or take transit along Highway 101 for the remainder of the way), travel via float plane, or navigate by boat.

Surrounded by coastline and forests, Sechelt serves as a fantastic adventure hub for people of every level of ambition and ability. There is also a bustling arts scene full of many skilled artisans, performers, and other creatives.
