You probably already know this but Vancouver Island and some of its surrounding island have a rich mining history. Quadra Island included.
I couple of years ago I was on Quadra Island doing some exploring, looking for mine shafts to be exact.
We did happen to find a mine shaft near on of the parks on the island. It was grated for everyone's safety as it was a vertical shaft and the bottom was filled with water, it was quite the drop!
Around the area was also some old machinery and pulleys. These is one of the pictures, unfortunately I couldn't find the picture of the shaft itself on my phone.
