Public consultation on a new park started in 2017 with the formation of a Horseshoe Bay Park Advisory Group. The Horseshoe Bay Park site is identified as an area of archaeological significance; it has a subsurface shell midden (a large quantity of shell debris left by human populations on their habitation and processing sites) and has been associated with a seasonal fishing village. The site is listed in the Province of BC’s inventory of archaeological sites and historic places and is protected under the Heritage Conservation Act.
