Discovering Kwilákm
For thousands of years, the Squamish people harvested shellfish in the estuary where Terminal Creek, Nex̱wlélex̱wm / Bowen Island’s largest stream, drains into the sea. They called this place Kwilákm: Calm Bay. We now know it also as Deep Bay, and some call it Mannion Bay.
Our Discovering Kwilákm book is packed with stories about the Bay. You can purchase your copy for $35 at Phoenix, in Village Square.
