Deep Cove, traditionally known as “Deepwater,” holds deep cultural significance for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, the People of the Inlet. For thousands of years, this area was an important fishing, clamming, and gathering site, sustaining generations of Indigenous people.
European interest in Deep Cove began in the late 18th century, when British and Spanish naval explorers scouted Indian Arm. By the mid-19th century, the area saw activity from whalers and loggers, shaping its early economy.
Since the early 1960s, Deep Cove has been a key part of the Carol Ships Parade of Lights, a beloved holiday tradition that sees elaborately decorated boats sail into the cove, lighting up the winter night.
This annual event, once a small gathering of festively adorned vessels, has grown into a North Shore holiday spectacle, with locals gathering along the waterfront to sing carols, sip hot chocolate, and celebrate the season. The twinkling lights reflecting off Indian Arm make it a truly magical experience.

Originally a small local tradition, the event has grown in popularity, attracting residents and visitors alike who embrace the fun, adventurous spirit of Deep Cove.
