Acknowledgement 
 
The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee 
respectfully acknowledges that its work 
takes place on the Unceded Traditional 
Territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, the 
traditional keepers of this land. We pay 
respect to all Elders, past, present and 
emerging, as well as Elders from other 
communities who reside here today. 
 
Introduction 
 
The Hornby Island Community Heritage 
Register (the Register) is an official list of 
historic places which have been 
identified by the Hornby Island Local Trust 
Committee, with the generous and 
extensive assistance of the Hornby Island 
Residents and Ratepayers Association 
(HIRRA), as having heritage value. 
 
 
 
The main function of the Register is to 
recognize and celebrate historically 
significant places within the community 
and within the Hornby Island Local Trust 
Area. A heritage register can be an 
important tool, providing support and 
eligibility for access to heritage 
conservation tools and incentives at the 
regional and provincial level, such as 
funding sources like the Heritage Legacy 
Fund of BC. 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
The Hornby Island Community Heritage 
Register is intended to: 
 enhance public appreciation of the 
identity and character of Hornby 
Island and the Local Trust Area; 
 provide public access to heritage 
information; 
 give notice to property owners and 
potential buyers of recognized 
heritage features on their property; 
 facilitate the integration of heritage 
conservation into community 
planning and community 
sustainability; and 
 provide a tool for determining 
eligibility for heritage programs and 
incentives. 
 
The act of being listed on the 
Community Heritage Register does 
not constitute formal protection as is 
afforded by other types of 
recognition such as a Heritage 
Designation bylaw. Conversely, 
omission from the Register does not 
affect heritage protection, since 
inclusion on a heritage register is not 
equivalent to heritage designation 
or any other form of permanent 
heritage protection either by a local 
government, the Province of British 
Columbia, or Government of 
Canada. 
Eligibility 
 
Historic places are not limited to 
buildings and can include other 
structures or entire properties, 
neighbourhoods or areas, cultural 
landscapes (such as historic farms) or 
spiritual places, industrial heritage sites, 
and both Indigenous/First Nations and 
settler cultural sites. Nomination for 
inclusion on the Register can be made 
to the Hornby Island Local Trust 
Committee at any time. 
If the nominated feature meets the 
general eligibility criteria, it m
