Quadra has a winter population of about 3,000, swelling to nearly 5,000 in summer. The island hosts a vibrant Kwakiutl village of the Cape Mudge People, who make their living from fishing, fish processing, aquaculture, and forestry. Many professionals reside on Quadra Island and commute to Campbell River, a 10-minute ferry ride away. The island features a local school for Kindergarten to Grade 5, excellent daycare and preschool programs, a vibrant arts community, small organic farms, and two vineyards.

Situated in the center of an pristine outdoor recreational area, Quadra Island offers an active ecotourism industry focused on fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. It is an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts!
