Beneath the peaceful trees of a British Columbia island lies a chilling, forgotten piece of history. Between 1891 and 1924, D’Arcy Island served as a remote leper colony for men suffering from Hansen’s disease. With no doctors, no nurses, and no care, forty-nine men—mostly Chinese immigrants—were abandoned to care for and bury one another, while white patients elsewhere in Canada received proper hospital care. Discover the dark story of D’Arcy Island, systemic prejudice, and the ghosts of a history left behind.
