After a lot of correspondence and debate with various people and authorities my good friend, George Duddy from White Rock, BC, Canada, has managed to have a plaque manufactured and erected at Victoria Harbour at the "Explorer's Walk" in honour of Ernest James “Scotty" Gall.
Further New as of October 2017. The Vancouver Maritime Museum have recently included a Northwest Passage Hall of Fame at their Museum where Scotty Gall and the HBC Aklavik have been recognised as a great achievement in 1937.

Here are two photos showing its position on the wall along with the wording of the Plaque.
