Memory Island Provincial Park is a provincial park located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. It was established by BC Parks on 23 August 1945 to protect a small island located at the southern end of Shawnigan Lake.
It was named as a memorial to two Victoria men - Allan Mayhew and Kenneth Scharff - who lost their lives in World War II.
Covering only 0.915ha, Memory Island is the second smallest provincial park in British Columbia after Seton Portage Historic Provincial Park.[2]
