Fanny Bay

History

Eikichi Kagetsu incorporated the Deep Bay Logging Company, which owned and operated timberlands in Deep Bay as well as at least 3,000 acres in Fanny Bay. There was a settlement that housed the labourers, with split-cedar houses, a water system, and a school. The labourers in this logging company were predominantly Japanese-Canadian, although at the time it was against the law for Japanese people to operate steam machines, so Caucasian workers were hired to operate those. During the internment of Japanese Canadians in World War II, the Canadian government confiscated all of Kagetsu's property and businesses, eventually selling the logging company to the H.R. MacMillan Export Company at a loss. Until 2005, a restaurant operating out of a pulled-ashore barge, named Brico, was located in Fanny Bay.
