D'Arcy Island

D'Arcy Island is an 83-ha island in Haro Strait, south of Sidney Island and east of the Saanich Peninsula (Vancouver Island).
==History==
The island was used as a leper colony for Chinese immigrants from 1894 to 1924, and ruins of the buildings built during that time are still visible.〔(D'Arcy Island ) VancouverIsland.com 〕〔(Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada ) - National Parks of Canada
D'Arcy Island's proximity to the United States border was exploited by famous American bootlegger Roy Olmstead in the smuggling of Canadian liquor, primarily whisky, to Washington State. His operation would transport the liquor from Victoria, B. C., to islands in Haro Strait, including D'Arcy, for later pickup by smaller craft that would move the contraband during rough weather, making it more difficult for the Coast Guard to detect them.
D'Arcy was declared a marine park in 1961, and included as part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve in 2003.〔http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/bc/gulf/carte-map-nfl.aspx#a6〕
