History

SECHELT, The name Land Between Two Waters was derived from the fact that the community is sandwiched between the Inlet water on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The distance in between is less than 1/2 a mile. If this section, made mostly of sand was not there, the area north of here would be an island!

Sechelt Inlet is the inside waters, while the Pacific Ocean, Georgia Strait is the outer waters. The "Inlet" is actually comprised of three inlets, Sechelt Inlet being the largest. There is also Salmon Inlet and Narrows Inlet in the inside waters of the Area. The water flows into the inside waters from the entrance, near Egmont BC. This entrance is also known as the Skookumchuck Rapids.
