There is another Secretary Island in British Columbia, in Sooke Basin.
The Secretary Islands were named in 1859 by Captain Richards, RN, after J.L.
Southey, RN, secretary to Rear Admiral Baynes, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Station, 1857–60, on account of their proximity to Southey Point, which is the northern tip of Saltspring Island.
North Secretary Island is currently owned by a group of private owners from across British Columbia.
