Community Information

Oceanside (Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Errington, Coombs) has one of the most temperate climates in all of Canada, with sandy beaches and activities for everyone from young families to retirement.

Oceanside offers a slower pace of life, where people take time to enjoy the beauty of the area and the endless outdoor activities. Close by is the thriving city of Victoria, and just across the Strait by seaplane, heli-jet or ferry is the city of Vancouver. If winter sports interest you, Mount Washington is just a short drive away and offers world-class skiing and snowboarding. Live where the living is easy, and still have access to everything a big city has to offer just 2 hours away.
