The Island in the Middle of Everywhere

Take a remarkable journey to The Island in the Middle of Everywhere!

Developed by Ingenium Canada in partnership with the Xwe’etay/Lasqueti Archaeology Project, this photographic exhibition showcases the historical food-gathering practices that allowed Northern Coast Salish peoples to prosper for generations. The remains of these practices are reminders of the deep history of Indigenous peoples on Xwe’etay and why it is vitally important to protect that heritage today.

Come visit The Island in the Middle of Everywhere, learn about the archaeological work in progress, and witness the beauty of the Xwe’etay/Lasqueti Island!

On display until October 8, 2026.
