    The foot was wedged in a logjam and police say the forensic identification service and the BC Coroners Service are investigating.
     
     
    Gabriola Island RCMP say they will work with the coroner in an effort to determine the identity of the remains.
     
     
    More than a dozen feet have washed up on B.C. shores since 2007.
