In co-operation with the shíshálh Nation, the Province has restored the name of the Wilson Creek community to ts’uḵw’um. This name will be shared with the nearby creek. The water feature of Saltery Bay has also restored its name of sḵelhp.
In accordance with the B.C. Geographical Naming Policy, local and Indigenous governments, as well as relevant organizations, were invited to comment on the proposed name changes and bring forward any local or heritage considerations and comments.
