EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Executive Summary 
Hornby Island is located 31 km Southeast of Courtenay and includes the Islands of Toby Island, Flora Islet 
and Norris rocks. It has a population of 1,225 (2021). It is one of the best summer destinations as it is rich 
in nature and culture. It has long sandy beaches and scenic trails.  
The Hornby Island, as with many of the Gulf Islands, has a permanent population, but a large recreational 
component, making many of the properties being used for weekend and summer use only. It takes two 
BC Ferries to access Hornby Island via Buckley Bay and Denman Island.   
In August 2022 Patricia Maloney Consulting, in partnership with Bayshore Planning Inc.,  was engaged by 
the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee to undertake a targeted Official Community Plan (OCP) review 
of the following four topic areas:  
1. Riparian Areas  
2. First Nations  
3. Affordable Housing
