Chase River
The Chase River, known in the Hulquminum language as Kulwulton, is a river on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, discharging into the Gulf of Georgia at the south end of Nanaimo Harbour. It is the namesake of the Nanaimo neighbourhood of Chase River.History
In the winter of 1852–53, a Scottish shepherd, Peter Brown, was killed by two natives, one a Cowichan the other a Snuneymuxw. The Snuneymuxw, hearing that the governor and troops would be hunting him, fled and was easily captured because of fresh-falling snow making his tracks easy to find. The "chase" ended at this river.
