About D'Arcy Island
From 1894 until 1924, the island was used as a leper colony, primarily for immigrant Chinese labourers. While the remains of the caretaker's house are still visible, the buildings that housed the lepers were burned in the 1960s. In 1961 D'Arcy Island was declared a Provincial Marine Park, and in 2003, D'Arcy came under the auspice of the newly createdGulf Islands National Park Reserve(GINPR).
