The Christie Islet Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a small migratory bird sanctuary on the south coast of British Columbia. It was established in 1962 by Environment and Climate Change Canada.[1] Located in Howe Sound just south of Anvil Island, it is a small rocky island where seabirds nest, and Harbour seals roam the surrounding waters.[2] To protect the birds' nesting habitat, public access to the islet is not allowed, however is it possible to observe birds by boat.[2]
