Here’s where you’ll find the latest notes & updates about specific springs on the North Coast and Haida Gwaii. If a spring name has no other information listed under it, then there haven’t been any changes since the book was published. This page contains only the current known status; for a history of changes, see the News & Updates page.
March 25, 2015: On March 15, 2015 BC Parks carried out repairs to the dock at these hot springs. However, the ramp between shore and the dock was broken in two parts and could not be repaired on site. The ramp was removed and taken to Prince Rupert for repairs or replacement. It is unknown when the ramp will be put back in place. Therefore, be prepared to row ashore from the dock to get to the hot springs.
July 19, 2016: According to a Government of Canada announcement, Parks Canada will be spending a total of $655,000 to build two new pools to capture the new locations of the thermal water and to recreate the hot springs experience that was lost in the 2012 earthquake. An updated Bathhouse will also be built, and 900 metres of boardwalk on the island will be replaced as part of the project.
September 14, 2016: BC Parks reports that the damaged roof over the bathhouse has been replaced by Park Rangers.
