June 20-09 Echo Bay
The Echo Bay community is across the Queen Charlotte Strait from Malcolm Island on the "Mainland". It is only accessible by boat or air. The residents are our neighbours and friends who must travel by boat or hike through trails to visit other residents. It is a beautiful setting and is very popular with visiting boaters in the summer.
One of the very popular activities takes place throughout the the summer months at the resort. Pierre's Pig Roast and various theme dinners bring large crowds out on Saturday nights. To take part in this convivial event reservations are a must. Contact the owners at Pierre's at Echo Bay: Pierre & Tove and Jerome & Lucy at info@pierresbay.com. More treats while visiting Echo Bay are visits to Billy's museum around the corner from the resort. Accessible by trail or boat, this is a must see. Bill Proctor has lived, fished, logged and scavenged this area his entire life. His collection of artifacts from bygone industries and First Nations habitation is amazing as is his storytelling. Try contacting Yvonne Maximchuk and her partner Albert for an inspiring tour of their idyllic studio/home/Art Retreat. www.searosestudio.net
Nearby, other tiny communities, made up of float houses offer more things to discover.
