Comox means "Place of Plenty" and visitors to the Comox Valley will find plenty to see and do. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, with scenic views at every turn, this beautiful Valley has an abundance to offer.

The area we call the Comox Valley is comprised of many smaller communities which include Cumberland, Courtenay, Comox, Royston, Union Bay, Black Creek, Fanny Bay, and Merville, each of which exhibits a different history and "feel."

Being a "Four Season's Destination," the Comox Valley offers its inhabitants the opportunity to be active year round. With our mild climate you can golf, hike, sail, and enjoy the many beaches just about any time you wish. Mount Washington, only 30 minutes away by paved road, offers hiking and climbing in the summer and top notch skiing in the winter.

The "Valley" has a population of over 56,000 people, a mild maritime climate, and offers a wide variety of retail shops and services. It is also noted for a diverse variety of cultural activities such as visual and performing arts and quality crafts all anchored by the world famous Filberg Festival and Courtenay Youth Music Camps.

 The Comox Valley offers a truly unique lifestyle with a location blessed by warm climate, clean environment, and spectacular sights...a place where "Quality Of Life Reigns."
