Snowbirds, stuck in Canada this Winter? Fly West!
The Comox Valley
Truly the land of plenty, embodying a free West Coast spirit.
The Comox Valley encompasses the towns of Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland.
It is considered one of the most desirable places in Canada due to its incredible natural setting on the Pacific Ocean, mild climate and limitless year-round recreational pursuits, all of which are located within a relatively small geographic area.
Small Town - Easy Living
Live directly alongside the beautiful Courtenay Riverwalk and Wildlife Sanctuary.
Take an easy stroll out your front door to shopping, cafes and restaurants including a pharmacy & grocery store, as well as medical services and public transportation.
The closest Emergency Response Station is 2 minutes away and drive time to the new North Island Regional Hospital is 5 minutes.
Moderate Climate
The coastal influence of the Salish Sea provides a moderate temperate climate where winters are never very long.
Winters rarely dip below freezing, sunshine abundant and summers are long, lovely and seldom scorching.
Balanced Lifestyle
This coastal town boasts a myriad of outdoor activities from sea to sky and in between. In true West Coast fashion, you can kayak in morning and head up to Mt. Washington for an alpine adventure before lunch.
Into skiing or hiking? Just taking a short drive to Mount Washington Ski Resort or Strathcona Provincial Park offers spectacular scenic views and hiking trails.
As well, the adjacent Westerly Hotel, connected to Riverside by a covered elevated walkway, offers 3 onsite dining choices, the Westerly Wellness Centre, Billiards and indoor pool with hot tub and saunas.
