Province BRITISH COLUMBIA DENMAN ISLAND (regional info) @CLEFT IN THE ROCK RETREAT @SEA CANARY B&B Denman Island is one of the Northern Gulf Islands in the Comox-Strathcona Regional District of British Columbia, Canada, and is home to a small community of 1,016 year-round residents (2001 census). Regular ferry service links Denman Island to both Hornby Island from Gravelly Bay on the East side of Denman and Vancouver Island at Buckley Bay on the West side. Denman Island has long been a haven for people escaping from busy urban centers. The island's "Downtown" consists of one general store (containing the post office, gas station and government liquor store), a natural foods store, hardware store, bookstore, craft stores, a bakery/cafe, a real estate office, two community halls, a community school, and the museum. It is famous for its summer dances, the Martini Lounge Cabaret, quiet roads, beautiful scenery and tolerant lifestyle. Bananarchy was founded on Denman Island. Many artists have made Denman Island their home for decades, and as a result, the local community has a thriving artistic community. The island has a land area of 51.03 km² (19.7 sq mi). It is close to the same size and shape as Manhattan Island, with significantly less population. Denman and Hornby Islands are two outposts that have been described, with some justification, as the "undiscovered Gulf Islands". Big-name celebrities have recently bought property here, complementing a population made up of artists, craftspeople and a laid-back (if wary) mishmash of alternative types. read full wikipedia reference about Denman Island, BC OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIAAll available cities in British Columbia 100 Mile House Abbotsford Alert Bay Bamfield Bella Coola Burns Lake Cache Creek Campbell River Castlegar Chemainus Clearwater Clinton Courtenay Cowichan Bay Cranbrook Creston Dawson Creek Denman Island Duncan Fairmont Hotsprings Fernie Fort St. James Fort St. John Gabriola Island Galiano Island Gibsons Golden Gold River Greenwood Harrison Hotsprings Hope Hornby Island Invermere Kamloops Kimberley Kelowna Ladysmith Mackenzie Mayne Island Merritt Nakusp Nanaimo Nanoose Bay Nelson New Westminster North Vancouver Osoyoos Parksville Peachland Pender Islands Penticton Port Alberni Port Hardy Port Renfrew Powell River Prince George Prince Rupert Princeton Queen Charlotte Islands Quesnel Radium Hot Springs Revelstoke Richmond Vancouver Airport Rivers Inlet Rossland Salmon Arm Saltspring Island Saturna Island Shawnigan Lake Sicamous Sidney Slocan Lake Smithers Sooke Sorrento Sun Peaks Tahsis Terrace Thetis Island Tofino Trail Ucluelet Valemount Vancouver Vanderhoof Vernon Victoria Whistler White Rock Williams Lake |
