Nice to Know

WASHROOMS: Mayne Island has public washrooms facilities located at the Ferry Terminal, Dinner Bay Park, Georgina Point National Heritage Park and in Miners Bay at the library complex.

FLASHLIGHTS are advised if you are coming to Mayne Island on an evening ferry and/or planning to walk around at night.  Streetlamps are located only at the ferry terminal and the town centre.  It can get pretty dark out there everywhere else.

GROCERY stores close at 6pm at the latest during the fall, winter, and spring; and 7pm at the latest during the summer.  Make sure you stock up before closing time!

FISHING has been a popular local pastime for about 5000 years, but in the present age licenses are required, and available at the Gas Station. Don’t hesitate to enlist the aid of a cheerful local, or two, to aid you up the dock with your monster catch.

FIRES: Please visit the Mayne Island Fire Rescue website for up to date information regarding burning regulations and permits. Fires pose a severe hazard on our heavily forested island. Outside fires are often strictly forbidden during the hot, dry summer months. Please carefully extinguish fires and cigarettes.

WATER needs to be conserved, especially in the dry summer months.

WEATHER: Annual rainfall averages about thirty inches (750 mm), less than half of Vancouver’s. Most of this rain falls between mid October and mid March. Summers by contrast are very dry with average summer temperatures in the 20 to 25 Celsius (about 75º F). Winter averages rarely go below freezing and it seldom snows though we have had a temperature of -12º Celsius (10º F).
