"Island Dreams" is a true story of the wonders of British
Columbia's northern Gulf Islands. Swimming in the middle of the
Strait of Georgia, these enchanting isles are serenaded by whales
and surrounded by crushing depths; caressed by languorous calms and
brutalized by terrifying storms.
"Island Dreams" tells of one family's move to Olsen Island, one
of the uninhabited gems nestled close by the isle of Lasqueti.
Their story tacks through the wild beauty of these islands and
dives on glass sponge reefs shimmering in the surrounding depths.
It's an exploration of earthquake faults deep below Vancouver
Island and the birth of Qualicum winds.
"Island Dreams" also chronicles the natural and anthropological
history of the islands-their formation, the glaciers that scoured
them, and the first plants and animals that appeared there. It
follows the first migrating Asians who skiffed down the coast, and
explores the First Nations villages their ancestors founded. The
robust cast of characters includes Sisters Islands light keepers
and depression-era fishermen who beach-combed lumber for their
island fishing shacks.
"Island Dreams" is also a tale of Lasqueti Island, held out of
time by the special folks who make it their home. It is a story of
islanders, and of the wind and waves that forge them into believers
in the redemptive power of a wild environment.
