  Beschreibung

  We are on Denny Island, population appx. 120, in Heiltsuk Nation territory, the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest on Canada's wild west coast. You will have your own waterfront cabin (see spindriftpoint.com for photos), all the peace and quiet you can ask for, and opportunities to explore. We are a family of 3 (our son is 15) with a small forested water-access property. We have enjoyed many wwoof and workaway visitors over the past 15 years. This year (2026) we are looking for a strong person or couple that enjoys a bit of organizing to help with yard work, firewood, and garden maintenance. Please note: it is a long way and not cheap to get here from most other places. You can fly from Vancouver on Pacific Coastal Airlines, or ferry from Port Hardy, Prince Rupert, Bella Coola on a 6-12 hour BC Ferries trip, which may mean a night's stay in the port of departure on both ends. Thank you!!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Denny Island is a wonderful community where everyone knows each other. You can easily walk to the local marina, where you'll find friendly people, a store and other amenities. In winter it is QUIET here, except for the storms! We are generally pretty quiet, progressive, environmentally-friendly hardworking people and we have a lot of skills and experience to share. We love to get out on the water, spend time at the beach, work on our place, pick wild berries and garden. We beachcomb and chainsaw mill a lot of our own lumber. We live a largely boat-based lifestyle that is quite unique due to our remote location. We can teach you about raised bed and container gardening, roofcatch water collection, unconventional building, and coastal temperate rainforest ecology, and we have a well equipped workshop.

  Arbeit

  We are looking for one or two people with a strong back with some experience and able to work independently. We have a waterfront acre with house and two cabins. We can host Workawayers for 2-3 weeks, depending on the dates.
  
  Workaways must be happy to work in the rain at times because we live in the rainforest, but we try to do undercover jobs when it is pouring. Also must be comfortable travelling by small boat. Our place is best suited to independent people with some experience behind them who seek a quiet place with beautiful surroundings to explore - not much for nightlife here except owls and wolves!

  Unterkunft

  There is a comfortable self-contained bachelor cabin with double bunkbed, bathroom, shower, and kitchen. We will eat some meals together but for most we will cover your groceries and you can cook on your own. Workawayers must be accustomed to cooking and cleaning for themselves.
