Travel: Nearby Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a 5,000 person town, about 9 km past Chemainus and overlooks a deepwater harbour. Ladysmith is the point where the 49th parallel meets Vancouver Island (the border was shifted to keep the entire Island in Canada). The town is named for the site of a British victory in the Boer War fought in South Africa. The South African Ladysmith was named for Lady Juana, the wife of Sir Harry Smith, governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner to South Africa from 1847-1852. Attractions>
