Ladysmith Harbour
Ladysmith Harbour, originally Oyster Harbour, is a harbour adjoining the Town of Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Ladysmith area was originally known as Oyster Harbour when it came into use as a coaling port for the Dunsmuir-owned mine at Extension.
Oyster Bay Indian Reserve No. 12, one of the reserves of the Stz'uminus First Nation, is located on the south shore of the harbour, near its head. Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13, the largest of the Stz'uminus reserves, is located on the headland on the outer, southwest side of the harbour.
