Each city offers a close proximity to a wide array of recreational activities including kayaking, kite boarding, windsurfing, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, running, skiing and golfing.

With its diversity of landscapes, rich heritage and robust cultural scene, the Vancouver Island region offers an opportunity for a work-life balance prioritized for a healthy and sustainable career.
