Why Comox Valley?

With its central Vancouver Island location and transportation links, the Comox Valley is one of the largest regions on the Island, boasting a diverse economic base and an extraordinary quality of life. Direct access to a growing trading area is provided via the Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) serviced by major carriers including Air Canada and WestJet, mainland BC Ferry service, and harbour to harbour flights to downtown Vancouver. This accessibility has established the Comox Valley a strategic mid-Island hub for investment across key sectors including agri-food production & agri-tech innovation, tourism, as well as residential & commercial development. The area also boasts a combination of amenities unlike other Island communities including the largest full service ski & snowboard resort (a major foreign direct investment in 2015), a new regional hospital currently under construction (opening fall 2017), coupled by a post-secondary college, and Canada’s only west coast Canadian Forces Base 19 Wing Comox, another significant economic driver in the Comox Valley.
