The town of Comox (population: 12,500), along with the town of Courtenay is located in the Comox Valley, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. Comox is a quintessential seaside community, with nautical themes woven into its landscape, architecture, town square, and annual celebrations. At the heart of Comox is the Fisherman's Wharf, featuring a major marina and public boardwalk, ideal for viewing the Comox Harbour's many boats. Fresh seafood can be purchased directly from local fisherman.

The Comox Valley is known for excellent skiing, golfing and mountain biking opportunities, as well as a vibrant arts scene. Often referred to as the "Valley of Festivals," it hosts at least one special event every weekend of the summer.
