An outdoor adventurer’s dream, Texada Island, on the Sunshine Coast of BC, is the largest of the Gulf Islands at over 300 square kilometres. Affectionately known as “The Rock,” Texada Island has a fantastic colourful history, including stories of Wild West gold fever days. The island boasts natural outdoor attractions not found anywhere else.

An abundance of trails and old logging roads cover the island, making hiking and biking easily accessible, A lack of predators makes outdoor adventuring here even more attractive. There are 10 lakes suitable for kayaking or canoeing in addition to wonderful marine bays and coves ringing the island.

Our employees choose to live either directly on Texada Island, or in nearby Powell River. There is a strong sense of community in both locations which makes for a great environment to raise a family. Powell River is a very welcoming, quiet, and friendly community, with the warmth of a small town, but the amenities of a larger city.

If you are looking for the opportunity to buy a home and settle into a smaller community to raise your family, or to be more accessible to the outdoors, you’ll find that real estate prices in the region are significantly lower than those in the Greater Vancouver area or Vancouver Island.

Texada Island is accessible by ferry, with BC Ferries operating ferry service from the Westview terminal in Powell River to the Blubber Bay terminal on Texada Island, with a 35 minute crossing time.
