Pender Islands Through the Years

Step back in time with our collection of historical photographs, capturing the people, places, and moments that shaped the Pender Islands.

From the W̱SÁNEĆ presence on their traditional lands to early settler homesteads, and from the ways people made a living in earlier times to the growth of community, each image tells a story of resilience, connection, and heritage.
