Welcome to savary.ca -

My intent is to say a bit about my personal experience on Savary Island,

Give comprehensive information about Savary and to sell a bit of property here.

I have lived, worked, and played on Savary for decades.

On this site I try to convey the facts and flavours of this Island I call home.

Savary is about  8 km (5  miles)  tip to tip, lies East West, is not very deep, averaging  1km (2/3 a mile.)

A line from Powell River to Campbell River would run though it.

It is blessed with a very temperate climate, lots of sunshine and surrounded by sandy beaches .

Known for white sand, in some location black sand appears ( rumoured to have gold content).

Warm seas in The Summer for swimming.

Since The 1930's Savary Island has been a cottage destination. From 1930 to 1980 The Royal Savary Hotel flourished.

The cottage tradition continues, there are roughly 100 'year rounders', swelling to 3000+ August Long Weekend,

and because more cottages are comfortable and people tend to have less scheduled lives,

Visitors and owners are common throughout the year.

 

 

 

 Reliable internet & a year round store have contributed to more staying on Island in the off season.

EMERGENCY LINES - 911 / 811 / 988 

 

CURRENT FIRE REGULATIONS

 
BURN PILES ALLOWED with size restrictions
Effective NOON Thursday October 10, 2024
A 1 metre x 1 metre fire is easier to control, and as long as you have a good base of hot embers, this size of fire is big enough to handle all the yard debris you need to burn.
Every person who intends to construct and ignite a burn pile of material that is larger than 1 metre in diameter and 1 metre in height must notify the Fire Chief at least 24 hours ahead of igniting the burn pile. SIVFD Fire Chief 604-414-9495.
No person shall construct or ignite a burn pile where the material is larger than 3 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height.
Before lighting a fire always check the wind forecast. If you see sparks and flames going sideways towards combustibles you must extinguish the fire immediately. Do not leave the fire unattended. Remember to have a sufficient supply of water or other substance close at hand that could extinguish the fire.
BC's guide to properly Burning Outdoors: Never burn garbage or construction debris. It is illegal unless specifically authorized, and it releases toxic chemicals into the air. Effects of these toxins include cancer, lowered immunity, disorders of the nervous system, and interfere with childhood development.
