About the Powell River Office

Nestled on the Northern Sunshine coast, Powell River is on the doorstep of both Vancouver and Vancouver Island. With nature and adventure at every turn, this beautiful hidden gem is bursting with opportunities.

Many people describe the coastal city of Powell River as “paradise”. Placed within a lush temperate rainforest along the Salish Sea, Powell River's moderate climate is the envy of most Canadians cities that suffer through a cold and harsh winter; the winter season in Powell River is mild with temperatures rarely below freezing. This blessing affords residents an abundance of world-class outdoor recreation opportunities year-round.

Located in the Traditional Territories of the Tla’amin First Nation, Powell River has the coastal mountains in its backyard and the ocean on its doorstep. The community provides a wonderful mixture of world class arts, culture, recreation, heritage, festivals and the best in education, health care and infrastructure. All these things and more have drawn many urbanites to Powell River’s shores to build a new life in a safe and comfortable environment that offers the best of British Columbia and Canada.
