Sanctuary Bay Conservancy

Highlights in this conservancy

Sanctuary Bay Conservancy was established as part of the Morice Land and Resource Management Plan. The conservancy is located on Babine Lake and protects several islands, scenic lakeshore viewscapes and bays, and provides for safe boat anchorages.

This area is culturally important to local First Nations, who historically fished, hunted and trapped in the area.

Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
