Haven't been by this page before; I see Lulu Island's already been credited but of the Gulf Islands only Saltspring; if it's there so should be Quadra and Texada at least (they're larger) and not a few others like Gabriola and Bowen. There's also much larger islands up-coast, notably Princess Royal (near Hartley Bay, where the ferry sinking happened, and of course Gil Island which the ferry hit in the dark - no inhabitants on Gil, though there are on Princess Royal). Prince Rupert is on, or incorporates, an island (I'll have to look up its name and add it) and of course the major islands of the Queen Charlottes are inhabited. There's also Malcolm Island ( Sointula) and Malcolm Island, where Alert Bay is and the villages and other habitations of the Broughton Archipelago, Desolation Sound and Discovery Passage. OK, OK, I'm the BCer and will try and research this but just asking/assuming that only islands with population are to be counted/listed? Skookum1 22:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I see Grand Isle is there but not neighbouring and more populous Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec. Is that because it wasn't an island until the Beauharnois Canal was built? I'm pretty sure the canal is a deepened stretch of the river and that this was an island previously, too. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 15:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Île Hull should be on this list. To the best of my knowledge, it's not man made, as there's nothing on the article for Brewery Creek that indicates it is a canal. Unfortunately, the GeoSearch function on the StatsCan website is not working today, so I can't get a population figure. -- Earl Andrew - talk 16:25, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Why are the density figures from 2006? That's sadly outdated and can be calculated quickly right now by dividing the 2016 population by land size (land size doesn't change significantly throughout the years). And where are the citations? These are not citations, these are notes. They should be entered using the ref and note templates. And citations should be added. This article is so not up to standards and needs a complete makeover. And pictures would be beneficial too. Zacharycmango ( talk) 00:15, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
I don't know the exact population for Fairfield Island in Chilliwack, BC, but I know it is in the 1000s and might make it onto this list. If anyone can find a concrete figure, please add it to this list. I do not think it is a manmade island. I also know that Gabriola Island, BC, has a population of over 4050, but whether that makes it big enough to be included on the list, I do not know. Other borderline island for inclusion are Graham island and Pender Island (before canal split it in half), which each claim between 4000-5000 people. Zacharycmango ( talk) 04:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
