Community Information:

Located in the heart of Oceanside, on the sheltered east coast of Vancouver Island, we are an active community of urban professionals, families with young children, and retirees who have chosen to live in our community for a quality of life and the region's natural environment.

Parksville has one of the most temperate climates in all of Canada, with sandy beaches and activities galore for everyone from young families up to retirement. Parksville has a slower pace of life, where people take time to enjoy the beauty of the area and the endless outdoor activities. The major centres of Nanaimo and Victoria are readily accessible via the Island Parkway, and regularly scheduled ferry, air, and float plane services from Nanaimo offer easy access to Vancouver.

Practice where the living is easy, and still have access to everything a big city has to offer just 2 hours away.

Parksville is a growing seaside community located on the eastern shores of Vancouver Island, just 30 minutes north of Nanaimo and the ferry terminals to British Columbia’s mainland. With sandy beaches, stunning resorts, and tons of outdoor adventure, it is the perfect destination to live, work, and play. Parksville residents and visitors enjoy golfing, hiking, mountain biking, and bumper boats - which is a family favourite!
