We really need to change the image in this article to a two-shot of the Sewell's Marina and the BC Ferry terminal. I believe that such an image is more descriptive of the village of Horseshoe Bay. --  Denelson83  01:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did the terminal pics. I don't know if the marina pics are sufficient though. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 01:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of going through all the terminal locations for BC Ferries (That being the location for the terminals not the general city the serve) and adding a destination box, seeing as HSB is an excellent candiate to test the waters on, what do you think of:

I don't have the base maps for this series, but it's fairly obvious that West Van is marked as though it were the same thing as Horseshoe Bay, instead of the latter being only one point at its far western edge.Skookum1 01:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The place of "Horseshoe Bay" is known in the skwxwu7mesh snichm as Ch'axa'y, which translates to "Sizzling Noise". As for history, what I know so far is that it was a famous camp site for people traveling up and down the Howe Sound, and that it was wealthy in clam beds. I'm not sure how to add this into the article OldManRivers 05:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I remember there was at least one fatal accident due to a dump truck's brakes failing and it plowing into cars at the bottom of the hill, and I think there have been others. If someone has info on these/associated safety improvements, if any, it might be a good addition to the article.

This page is way too short for the amount of history Horseshoe bay has. Needs at least a subheading on the page about its Native origins. Davidk94 (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
