Kelly and any others with Web access, there is a geographical search engine
known as the BC Geographical Names Information System (BCGNIS) available at
the following URL:

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/~bcnames/

It allows you to enter a name and it goes through a couple of pages where it
brings up the various matches on one page, and a TRIM map of the desired
location on another. It isn't perfect but it does allow you to narrow a
location down e.g. Iona South Jetty gets no hits, but Iona Island gets you
right to it.

A useful tool and something I don't mind contributing my tax dollars toward.
