Chase River The Chase River, known in the Hulquminum language as Kulwulton,〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Chase River (river)" )〕 is a river on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, discharging into the Gulf of Georgia at the south end of Nanaimo Harbour.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Chase River (river)" )〕 It is the namesake of the Nanaimo neighbourhood of Chase River. ==History== In the winter of 1852-53, a Scottish shepherd, Peter Brown, was killed by two natives, one a Cowichan the other a Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo). The Snuneymuxw, hearing that the governor and troops would be huntihg him, fled and was easily captured because of fresh-falling snow making his tracks easy to find. The "chase" ended at this river.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Chase River (river)" )〕
