Mitchell Island

Mitchell Island is an island in the North Arm of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, located between the cities of Vancouver and Richmond (incorporated as part of the latter).

Originally agricultural, its land is now mainly used for industrial purposes.

The island's name commemorates the original Crown Grantee, Alexander Mitchell.

[2] The only way to get on and off the island by road or walking is through on- and off-ramps near the middle of the Knight Street Bridge.

There is also a bus stop near the exit and entrance from the bridge; however, buses do not travel on the island itself.
