Our Communities

Nestled in the heart of the Comox Valley, you’ll find the welcoming communities of the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, and the Village of Cumberland. These vibrant hubs, known for their friendly and inclusive atmosphere, offer a perfect blend of urban amenities and close-knit community living.

But the charm of the Comox Valley extends beyond these primary communities, reaching into several smaller, equally inviting outlying areas. Together, they form the 47th largest metropolitan area in Canada, home to approximately 76,000 residents and counting.

This growing population is a testament to the allure of the Comox Valley. It’s a place where urban sophistication meets small-town warmth, creating an environment that’s as dynamic as it is comfortable. Discover the Comox Valley, where community spirit thrives and growth is celebrated.
