Notes James Collins was born in Glasgow in 1879 but emigrated to Canada as a boy. He travelled across Canada finally arriving on Bowen Island as a young man. He worked on the island in logging & road building, then bought Collins Farm around 1900. The parcel was originally a 1/2 section or 320 acres that covered an area from Killarey Lake to Deep Bay. He married Laura Irene Collins and they raised seven children on the farm.
