Ladysmith Harbour
Ladysmith Harbour, originally Oyster Harbour, is a harbour adjoining the Town of Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.[1][2] The Ladysmith area was originally known as Oyster Harbour when it came into use as a coaling port for the Dunsmuir-owned mine at Extension.[3][4]
Oyster Bay Indian Reserve No. 12, one of the reserves of the Stz'uminus First Nation, is located on the south shore of the harbour, near its head.[5] Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13, the largest of the Stz'uminus reserves, is located on the headland on the outer, southwest side of the harbour.[6]
