The ʔuuʔinmitis Conservancy[1] (oo-in-MIT-is) is a conservancy in British Columbia, Canada. Established on June 18, 2024, the conservancy covers 22,880 hectares of land.[2][3][4] It covers the area north and east of the Bedwell Sound. It borders the Strathcona Provincial Park to its north and the Unaacuł-Ḥiłsyakƛis Conservancy and the Tranquil Creek Provincial Park to its southeast.[5]

Its Nuu-chah-nulth name ʔuuʔinmitis (pronounced Oo-in-mit-is in English), also written ḥuuʔinmitis, is used for a village site on the east of the Bedwell River referring to both Bedwell River and Ursus Creek, from which the ʔuuʔinmitisʔatḥ (O-inmitisaht) get their names, now amalgamated with the ʔaaḥhuusatḥ (Ahousaht).[6][7]
