The Lucy Islands (known as Lax Spinna, meaning "on shoulders", in Tsimshian[1]) are a small archipelago off the North Coast of the province of British Columbia in Canada.[2] The low-lying and heavily forested (Sitka spruce) group, named after its largest island, Lucy Island, constitutes a provincially protected conservancy area that contains some of the North Coast's oldest archeological sites, a nationally significant seabird population, and a prominent 20th-century lighthouse.[3]
