Nancy’s Recommended Sites

Important Resource Sites

Here is my list of useful sites from around the web.

With over 7.5 km of sandy shoreline, a variety of golf courses, a mild year-round climate, a great selection of parks, trails galore, an abundance of wildlife, and superb shopping opportunities on every street corner... Parksville and Oceanside has it all!
Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce
Call us "the best bloomin' Town on Vancouver Island"! Colourful planters and a profusion of hanging baskets adorn the Village. Spring through Fall, Qualicum Beach gardeners are busy creating their own individual works of art. Here, the gardens are so numerous and the gardeners so passionate that it was an easy decision for us to enter the Communities in Bloom competition. And it isn't just gardens! The judges look at landscaped and turf areas, heritage conservation, urban forestry, environmental effort and community involvement. We have proven ourselves winners in every category, so come judge for yourself!
