Hornby Island: Essential Info

Hornby Island is 2,990 hectares (7,388 acres) in area, with about 25% of the Island’s land mass being preserved within provincial parks and regional nature parks. Hornby has a rich but vulnerable natural environment and is situated within a unique ecological region with exceptional biodiversity. As an Island with no natural lakes, Hornby has a strong dependency upon groundwater resulting in the need to protect the quality and quantity of this resource.

We hope that the below information will assist those planning to visit Hornby as well as provide a quick reference for residents.
