Horseshoe Bay

This guide to Horseshoe Bay follows a 1937 land grab, when Colonel Albert Whyte convinced the railway to fold his own name into this bay's station, replacing the earlier settler name White Cliff. It traces back further to the Squamish word for these waters, Ch'axay, sizzling waters, describing how salmon here drove herring to the surface. Listen for how residents eventually responded to the Colonel's vanity project.
