I don't know who might read this, but I have a comment. It says the first person who settled in Parksville was John Hirst. This does not exactly sound like a First Nations name to me. Think about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.64.223.203 ( talk) 04:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC) Russ reply

Dear Russ,

Read it again: "The first European settler in the Parksville area was John Hirst."

LOL! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.146.49 ( talk) 18:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC) reply

For what it's worth, it really did say "the first person" when that comment was made (I added an unsigned notice to it while replying here). Graham 87 05:46, 6 March 2023 (UTC) reply
