<1>	Area code (778) is an overlay for area code (604).

The boundaries of the Postal Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other Postal Codes. When looking for a Postal Code, whether Bowen Island or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
