Tillicum Bay

Tillicum Bay (49˚32'00" 123˚46'00" E side of Sechelt Inlet, N of Four Mile Point, NW of Vancouver). Tillicum was the word for “person” or “relative” in the Chinook jargon used on the W coast by First Nation groups and early traders and settlers. Later it was also widely used to mean “friend.” There are many places with this name in BC, including a creek, a lake, two mountains and a neighbourhood in Victoria. The Sechelt First Nation name for the bay is Chichxwalish.
