Vancouver Island is located off
Canada's Pacific coast and is part of the Canadian province of
British Columbia. The island is 460 km (285 miles) long and up
to 80 km (50 miles) wide. The largest island on the western
side of the Americas at 32,134 square kilometres (12,407
square miles), it is the world's 42nd largest island, Canada's
11th largest island and Canada's second highest populated
island. The island is named in honour of George Vancouver, the
British Royal Navy officer who explored the Pacific northwest
coast between 1791 and 1794.
The 2001 census population was 656,312. As of
