The Island Recreation Destination

With an estimated population of 19,511(B.C. Stats), the City of Courtenay functions not only as a local commercial centre, but as a regional Comox Valley service centre catering to a rapidly expanding population base.

High growth in the region suggests that long term expansion of the industrial area will be important since the City's location in the region takes on added significance, as it will ultimately have excellent access with completion of the new Inland Highway.

Courtenay features an attractive downtown area, malls, and many delightful boutiques offering excellent shopping opportunities.
