Savary is the most subdivided island in The Gulf, in 1910 the majority of the Island was divided in to 50ft wide lots. In the early 70's Savary Shore added another 225 lots. Sunny, situated in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island and with low elevation, Savary gets more sunshine, the tides flushing in from the Pacific around Vancouver Island meet just norh of Savary. When these warmer waters, run over the shallow sandy shelf of Savary, they become some of the warmest in the region. Savary is mostly sand and silt, anchored by Mace Point, a large rock at the East End. The sand means there is little surface water. The temperate climate and lack of surface water, has limited the land mammals, there are deer, squirrels, mice , river otters and the occasional mink come ashore.

AUGUST 2014I couldn't help but laugh when I read writer Juhli Jobi's story 'glamping' that appears on Page 6 of Powell River Living this month.
