Hornby Island of British Columbia, Canada, is a Northern Gulf Island parallel with Vancouver Island's Comox Valley. A small community of 958 residents (as of the 2011 census) is distributed across the island. The island is culturally distinctive as it was the site of a large immigration of American draft dodgers during the Vietnam War, and many of these people still live on the island.

Located at 49.5194, -124.667 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
