Indian Arm

Indian Arm is a glacial fjord in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It runs from north of Burrard Inlet and ending in the mountains and wilderness. Along the fjord is the village of Belcarra and the District of North Vancouver.

The fjord is named Indian Arm in 1921 by the Geographic Board of Canada to signify the history of the Tsleil-Waututh people that lived historically in the area. In the Tsleil-Waututh language, the fjord is known as səl̓ilw̓ət.[1]

Most of the area is not accessible to crossing. Around the park are a few parks including the Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park, which was established on July 13, 1995 to protect the mountain terrain and təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park, which was established on July 28, 1972.[2][3] In 1998, the Government of British Columbia and the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation both signed an agreement to have both parties co-manage the park area with equal amount of member on the board of management.[4]

Two generating stations are located around the fjord and the water runs through a tunnel from Coquitlam Lake into Buntzen Lake. The two generators called Buntzen No. 1 and Buntzen No. 2 were built in 1903 and 1912 respectively. Both are controlled by the System Control facility on top of Burnaby Mountain and are run by BC Hydro.[5] A popular inn called the Wigwam Inn is located north of Indian Arm and was popular during World War I. It is owned by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club which is used for their members.[6]
