Annacis Island Totally Explained

Everything about Annacis Island totally explained

Annacis Island is an island located in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Named in 1827 for Hudsons Bay Company Clerk Francois Noel Annance, the island is now mostly industrial. The island contains one of the Greater Vancouver Regional District's waste water treatment plants. Juxtaposed amongst the industrial factories, a large rabbit population calls the island home.
The island is accessible by bicycle from either sidewalk of the Alex Fraser bridge to the South. From the North there's a zig-zag sidewalk access to the Hwy 91 bridge- at the West end of Queensborough. The Highway 91 travels through the island and connects it to Lulu Island to the north and North Delta to the south. The island is the northern landing of the Alex Fraser Bridge, part of Highway 91. At the eastern end of the island is the Derwent Way Bridge which also connects the island to Queensborough.
According to maps, the wider part of the (South Arm) Fraser River south of the island is known as Annieville Channel, while the more narrow channel north of the island is Annacis Channel.

Origin of the name

The island's name is derived from "Annance's Island," named for François Annance, a Hudson's Bay Company clerk, who travelled with Chief Factor James McMillan to found Fort Langley in 1827.
