The Qualicum School District (Parksville and Qualicum) resides on Coast Salish Territory and within the shared territory of the Snaw’naw’as and Qualicum First Nations.Ā Our communities are located on the sheltered east coast of central Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.Ā Often referred to as āOceansideā, the area encompasses the charming beachfront city of Parksville and Town of Qualicum Beach. It is a popular tourist destination with visitors arriving every year from the rest of Canada, the United States and around the world, to relax on our miles of warm, sandy beaches, hike nearby temperate rain forest and alpine trails and to enjoy the genuine warmth and friendly welcome of our communities.
These communities with their wonderful blend of young families and active seniors, combined with the mildest climate in Canada and spectacular natural environment, have created what many view as the ideal west coast, Canadian lifestyle.
