About Denman Island
Denman Island (Indigenous name Taystay’ich) is one of British Columbia’s Northern Gulf Islands, off the east coast of central Vancouver Island on the traditional unceded territory of the Pentlach people including the K'omoks, Sliammon and Qualicum First Nations. Denman is home to approximately 1,400 year-round residents. The island is notable for its thriving artistic community, its festivals and its beautiful natural environment. |

One of the Safest Places on Earth!
Denman Island has to be one of the safest places to roam around, on the planet! There's no crime, so we have no police (unless they are passing through on their way to Hornby Island). There's no cougars (which is why there are so many deer), no bears, and there are no poisonous snakes. |
However, as we all know, the weather is becoming more unpredictable and this Spring (2022) has been the coldest/wettest in a long while (since the 1980's I heard), but better here than elsewhere in BC apparently. Last year the "heat bomb" that descended over British Columbia mid-summer was mitigated, at least on this property, by the cooling sea breezes. What is for sure is that whatever the weather, it's always beautiful!

Crossing Baynes Sound between Buckley Bay on Vancouver Island and Denman Island West, the ferry runs basically every hour during the day, with less frequent sailings in the evening until 9:30pm off-season and 11:00pm during the Summer. It's a 10 minute sailing but allow 5 minutes each side for loading and unloading.

From our collection, representing an eclectic cross-section of contemporary art that we published by over 50 artists from Canada, the US and Argentina, as Mima Fine Art Publishers Inc. & Mima Gallery. In 2008 Mima became the supplier of art to 'The Bay' (The Hudson Bay Company, founded 1670) in Downtown Vancouver, followed by the Victoria and Nanaimo stores in 2009. That lasted 3 years, followed by 30+ stores and galleries throughout BC, until we folded Mima in 2016. The continuing online "Closing Sale" consists of 'ex-stock'. (Click here for the full story...)
