has abstract
  • Mill Bay is a commuter town of about 7,200 people located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada about 30 km (19 mi) north of Victoria, the capital. It is part of the Cowichan Valley Regional District. Mill Bay was founded in the 1860s with lumber and milling as its primary industries, done at the mill on the bay. It was named for the sawmill built in the area in 1861 by Henry S. Shepherd soon purchased by William Sayward. It is known for its ferry to Brentwood Bay on the Saanich Peninsula and the historic Malahat Drive, which is also a source of criticism due to frequent closures from either automobile accidents or weather conditions. Numerous suggestions have been made by various groups regarding a 'bypass' route (possibly a bridge), though as of 2007, the Brentwood-Mill Bay Ferry and the Malahat remain the best routes to Greater Victoria from the rest of Vancouver Island (a third route goes south from Lake Cowichan via Port Renfrew to Victoria). The MV Mill Bay that has served the ferry route since 1956 is named for the town but was taken out of service in 2011 and is now served by the MV Klitsa. (en)
  • Mill Bay è una città dormitorio con circa 3200 persone situata sull'Isola di Vancouver, nel Distretto regionale di Cowichan Valley in Columbia Britannica, Canada a circa 30 km (19 miglia) a Nord di Victoria, la capitale. Mill Bay venne fondata negli anni 1860 con legname e fresatura come sue industrie primarie, attive presso il mulino sulla baia. È conosciuta per il servizio di traghetti che la collega a sulla e alla storica Malahat Drive. La cattiva qualità del collegamento stradale è fonte di critiche a causa di frequenti chiusure dovute a incidenti automobilistici o a condizioni meteorologiche. Sono giunti numerosi suggerimenti da vari gruppi per realizzare un percorso di "bypass" (possibilmente un ponte); comunque a partire dal 2007, il Brentwood-Mill Bay Ferry ed il percorso da Malahat restano i migliori percorsi verso Greater Victoria dal resto dell'Isola di Vancouver (un terzo percorso va verso Sud da Lake Cowichan passando per verso Victoria). La nave MV Mill Bay che ha prestato servizio per il percorso con traghetto dal 1956 è stata intitolata alla città ma è andata fuori servizio nel 2011 ed ora il collegamento è servito dalla nave MV Klitsa.
