Courtenay

Courtenay combines a compact riverside downtown with the open farmland of the Comox Valley in a way that reflects its position on Vancouver Island’s east coast. The Courtenay River runs through the city to Comox Harbour, where the inlet meets the Strait of Georgia; the estuary and shoreline are central to the area’s birdlife and marine character. Courtenay lies in the traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, whose continuing presence is fundamental to the valley’s identity. Downtown’s Sid Williams Theatre anchors live performances, while local markets and restaurants draw on the farms and shellfish waters nearby. Inland, the valley rises toward the Beaufort Range and Mount Washington.
