About Us
Where We Are
The Discovery Islands are a group of rugged, forested islands located 150 km (100 miles) northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at the north end of the Salish Sea along the famous Inside Passage sea lane.
The two most populous islands, Quadra Island and Cortes Island, are served by regular ferry service from Campbell River, Vancouver Island, provided by BC Ferries.
The ferry schedule and service notifications for Quadra Island and Cortes Island can be found here:
About Us
Who We Are
A vibrant artist community thrives here, encompassing musicians, potters, bicycle and boat builders, painters, sculptors, and glass blowers. Many participate in an annual Studio Tour, opening their doors to the public to showcase their crafts.
Numerous businesses in these sectors are members of the Discovery Islands Chamber of Commerce, contributing to the community’s prosperity. Critical non-profits and services, including the local fire department and emergency preparedness programs, also play integral roles within our organization.
