Without the passion and determination of James F. "Mac" Macdonald, who took possession of the 292 acre property at the head of Princess Louisa Inlet from the BC government in 1927, a very different sight might be seen today. "Mac" turned down generous re-sale opportunities and offers from hotel chains to purchase "The Princess." His only dream was to preserve the natural beauty for himself and future generations. He believed that "this beautiful peaceful haven should never belong to one individual." In 1964, his dream came true when his treasured home was deemed a Class A marine park. The non-profit Princess Louisa International Society passed the administration of the property to the government of British Columbia and renamed the area Princess Louisa Provincial Marine Park.
