The strike-slip tectonic fault which bisects Gabriola Island and passes under downtown Nanaimo, then along the path of the Chase River and the reservoirs that make up the Colliery Dam.

The Chase River Fault is expected to play a significant role in a massive Magnitude-10+ earthquake, which seismologists say has a 30% of chance of striking Vancouver Island within the next 50 years.
