(Redirected from Winter Harbour, British Columbia)
Winter Harbour is a fishing village of 20 people on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, at the mouth of the Quatsino Sound, in British Columbia, Canada.[1] It was named in the 19th century because of its eponymous bay[2] that forms a safe natural harbour.
Quatsino Provincial Park and Raft Cove Provincial Park are nearby.
