About the Comox Valley
The Comox Valley is located midway up the east coast of Vancouver Island, 94 miles (150k) from Vancouver. It has three main communities: the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox and the Village of Cumberland. Area population of the three centres, and outlying areas from Bowser to Oyster River is about 75,000.
The Comox Valley enjoys some of the most favourable weather in Canada, with short, mild winters and warm, dry summers. In the winter months, one can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. The Valley is known as the “Recreation Capital of Canada”. There is no shortage of fun activities: snowboard and ski the Mount Washington Ski Resort; try any of the eight golf courses; explore various marine adventures encompassing everything from kayaking to salmon fishing. On the arts scene, the Valley has one of the highest concentrations of artists in Canada, with over 600 resident artists. Live theatres, music venues, museums and numerous galleries creat a thriving cultural community.
A variety of health professionals ensure a high degree of medical and dental care. There is a full-care hospital, and many extended care options. School facilities range from preschools through senior secondary to North Island College. Retail stores service all needs from the farmer’s market and specialty shops downtown, to malls and major grocery chain outlets.
