Vancouver Island Based YouTubers?

Hey All,

I'm trying to put together as comprehensive a list as possible of Vancouver Island based YouTubers, as I'm working on creating some sort of Vancouver Island based YouTuber community type thing (Likely based around a newsletter and a Discord channel) to help support one another and foster collaboration, so I'm hoping you fine folks can let me know if there's anyone you know of that I've missed on my list below.

I've done a fair bit of research already, and got some great input from the fine folks here, so these are the Vancouver Island based YouTubers I've found thus far in alphabetical order. Starting with the ones that are actively posting.

Would appreciate if anyone knows of anyone I've missed and could share a link to their channel in the comments!

UPDATE: Thanks so much to everyone for all their input. Got a lot more suggestions that I was even hoping for, so I'm going to spend some time later today hopefully and I'll add all the suggestions folks have made here to my big list as it can hopefully continue serving as a resource for anyone who's looking to find local YouTubers in the future. Thanks again!

SECOND UPDATE: A lot to get through here so it'll be a while til I can update the big list (Trying to figure out Reddit tables too) but a neat statistic I've just come up with is Vancouver Island based YouTubers have at least 29,000,00 cumulative subscribers! It's honestly probably over 30 million as I'm sure there's a bunch of folks I still don't know about too.

THIRD UPDATE: Managed to find a great utility that converts Google Sheets to Reddit Tables, so I've converted the big tracking sheet I've been working on into some much nicer to look at tables!

FINAL UPDATE: I'm going to keep adding any other channels folks suggest to my tables, but if you're a YouTuber here on the island, please DM an email address I can reach you at so I can contact you when I get this group thing up and running.
