Work Channel is a channel in the North Coast region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It lies to the northeast of the Tspimpsean Peninsula. It was named about 1837 by officers of the Hudson's Bay Company after John Work.[1] It was first charted in 1793 by James Johnstone and Robert Barrie, two of George Vancouver’s officers during his 1791-95 expedition.[2]
