Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, Provincial park in Central Saanich, Canada

The park spans 1,219 hectares of mixed forest with Douglas-fir, Arbutus, western redcedar, and Garry oak trees along the Saanich Inlet coastline.

Established in 1995 under the Commonwealth Heritage Legacy Program, the park includes remains of the Vancouver Portland Cement Company from the early 1900s.

The land holds significance for First Nation peoples who continue to use specific areas within the park for medicinal and ceremonial activities.

Three access points serve the park: Tod Inlet near Brentwood Bay, Mackenzie Bight from Ross Durrance Road, and Caleb Pike Road entrance.

The Finlayson Arm fjord rises 430 meters above sea level and refreshes its marine waters only once per year, creating an isolated habitat.

Location: Central Saanich
