He sees tourism as a means of helping accomplish this goal, and to that end he and Anne with family and friends are offering traditional stories and salmon barbecues to visitors who call ahead, as well as water, showers and camping for paddlers. We enjoyed meeting them and carver John Speck who was working on the house poles for the new big house and kindly took time out to tell us about his carving and his own roots on nearby Turnour Island. Access For paddlers, access to the Village Island area is from Telegraph Cove on northern Vancouver Island, crossing Johnstone Strait and making their way into the Broughton Archipelago area. Many tour companies and mothership operations offer tours in the area. For boaters, travel north from Georgia Strait, up Johnstone Strait and anchor at Crease Island.
Flights are available, as is water taxi service.
