Vancouver Island Vancouver Island is a large island in British Columbia, Canada, off the Pacific coast. At 32,134 square kilometers (12,407 square miles), it is the largest island on the western side of the Americas.
The island has been inhabited by humans for some eight thousand years. By the late 1700s, the primary Indian nations there were the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) on the west coast, Salish on the south and east coasts, and the Kwakiutl in the centre of the island and the north.
British Columbia And Vancouver Island In 1860, British Columbia and Vancouver Island issued a postage stamp inscribed with the names of both British Columbia and Vancouver Island. This unusual step was taken for reasons of economy, both colonies having sufficient customers to justify the printing of stamps, but not enough to justify separate issues for each colony.

HVDC Vancouver Island The HVDC Vancouver Island is the name for HVDC interconnection between the Vancouver Island Terminal (VIT) near North Cowichan, British Columbia on Vancouver Island and the Arnott Substation (ART) near Delta, British Columbia on the Canadian mainland, which went into operation in 1968 and was extended in 1977. HVDC Vancouver Island consists of a 42 kilometers overhead line and a 33 kilometers long submarine cable. In 1968 the first pole of the HVDC Vancouver Island went into service. Its static inverters use mercury vapor electric rectifiers. The maximum transmission rate of this pole is 312 megawatts, its transmission voltage is 260kV. In 1977 the HVDC Vancouver Island was supplemented by installing a second pole. This pole uses thyristor valves in its static inverters and can transfer at an operating voltage of 280kV with a maximum power of 370 megawatts. Currently a submarine cable for three-phase alternating current is being constructed between the Canadian mainland and Vancouver Island, that will replace the HVDC line.
