Winter Harbour
Winter Harbour is a fishing village 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. As of the 2016 census, only five residents are reported as living there full-time. [3]
