Sayward is a village located on Kelsey Bay in a spectacular natural environment of the Sayward Valley along the north east coast of Vancouver Island.
By Vancouver Island standards, Sayward is a fairly old settlement. It was established in the 1890s at the mouth of the Salmon River and was originally called Port Kusum. Settlers arrived by boat and pushed inland into the lush valley.
