Bowen Island
Bowen Island is an island municipality in Howe Sound and is part of Metro Vancouver. Approximately 6 km wide by 12 km long, the island at its closest point is about 2 km west of the mainland. There is regular ferry service from Horseshoe Bay as well as three water taxi services. There were 3,551 permanent residents as of the 2007 BC Stats Estimate, a number that is supplemented in the summer by roughly 1,500 visitors as Bowen Island is a popular vacation home location for British Columbians. About 500 workers and over 200 students commute to offices and schools on the mainland each day. The island has a land area of 49.94 sq.km. (19.28 sq. miles).
