Comox means "Place of Plenty" and the Valley certainly lives up to its name. With the ocean to the east, and mountains to the
west, the Comox Valley offers a delightful mix of cultural, business and recreational opportunities. Gateway to picturesque
Hornby and Denman islands on one side, and to the renowned Mt. Washington Resort on the other, the Valley remains one of
the few places where you can ski, golf and kayak all in the same day.


LOCATION
The Comox Valley is situated mid-way on Vancouver Island's East Coast, encompassing the City of Courtenay, the Town of
Comox, the Village of Cumberland, the hamlet of Merville and CFB Comox Airbase.
It is bordered on the West by the Beaufort Mountain Range with its breathtaking Comox Glacier and Strathcona Park, and on
the East by the Strait of Georgia, Comox Harbour and Baynes Sound. The Valley area extends south to Royston, Union Bay,
Fanny Bay and Ship's Point and includes Denman and Hornby Islands, It extends North to Oyster River near Black Creek and
the Saratoga Beach area.


CLIMATE
The region enjoys short, mild winters and warm, dry summers. Weather systems that bring heavier rainfall and storms
generally pass over us en route to the mainland. The Comox Valley is one of the few places in Canada where, in the winter
months, one can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon.
