[edit]

We really need to change the image in this article to a two-shot of the Sewell's Marina and the BC Ferry terminal. I believe that such an image is more descriptive of the village of Horseshoe Bay. -- Denelson83 01:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did the terminal pics. I don't know if the marina pics are sufficient though. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 01:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of boxes

[edit]

I was thinking of going through all the terminal locations for BC Ferries (That being the location for the terminals not the general city the serve) and adding a destination box, seeing as HSB is an excellent candiate to test the waters on, what do you think of:

Horseshoe Bay Destination
BC Ferries
Route 2
Departure Bay
Nanaimo
BC Ferries
Route 3
Langdale
BC Ferries
Route 8
Snug Cove
Bowen Island

Map needs redoing

[edit]

I don't have the base maps for this series, but it's fairly obvious that West Van is marked as though it were the same thing as Horseshoe Bay, instead of the latter being only one point at its far western edge.Skookum1 01:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous naming

[edit]

The place of "Horseshoe Bay" is known in the skwxwu7mesh snichm as Ch'axa'y, which translates to "Sizzling Noise". As for history, what I know so far is that it was a famous camp site for people traveling up and down the Howe Sound, and that it was wealthy in clam beds. I'm not sure how to add this into the article OldManRivers 05:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ferry terminal accidents

[edit]

I remember there was at least one fatal accident due to a dump truck's brakes failing and it plowing into cars at the bottom of the hill, and I think there have been others. If someone has info on these/associated safety improvements, if any, it might be a good addition to the article. ReelExterminator (talk) 23:23, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Needs more Information on History

[edit]

This page is way too short for the amount of history Horseshoe bay has. Needs at least a subheading on the page about its Native origins. Davidk94 (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Horseshoe Bay, West VancouverHorseshoe Bay, British Columbia – If we have Horseshoe Bay, Alberta and Horseshoe Bay, Saskatchewan - with the Horseshoe Bays differentiated by the province where they are located - we should be consistent and differentiate West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay by the province instead of the district municipality.
