"The nine totem poles at Brockton Point are BC's most visited tourist attraction. The collection started at Lumberman's Arch in the 1920s, with four totems from Vancouver Island's Alert Bay. More purchased totems came from Haida Gwaii and the BC central coast Rivers Inlet, in 1936. In the mid 1960s, the totem poles were moved to Brockton Point.

The ninth totem pole was placed in 2009, carved by Robert Yelton of the Squamish Nation."
