**Community Information**:
Nestled in the Salish Sea Southern Gulf Islands, beautiful Pender Island is "just right" - not too big and not too small. With a permanent population of almost 2,800 residents, the island attracts a large influx of seasonal residents and visitors drawn by our temperate, near-Mediterranean climate.

There is a vibrant arts scene, most notably music and visual arts and cultural attractions include choir, theatre, concerts, art galleries, a library and museum. A wonderful range of outdoor activities entice residents and visitors alike. Marinas, docks and beaches serve as access points to a variety of water activities such as sailing, power boating, kayaking, fishing and swimming. Regional and National Parks offer a wide range of well maintained hiking and walking trails. Other on-island pursuits include golfing, disc golfing, gardening and huge variety of service and special interest groups.

Local amenities offer a grocery store, specialty food stores, organic food growers and farmers market, pharmacy, restaurants, gas station & repair garage, and an eclectic range of retail shops. The island is serviced by the RCMP, fire department, elementary/middle school, daycare centres, faith communities and summer camps.

For urban amenities and shopping, Pender is well connected to Greater Victoria via a 40 minute vehicle ferry that offers five return sailings a day. For access to Vancouver and the larger international airport, the ferry ride is 1.5-2 hours and runs twice daily. There is scheduled float plane service to Vancouver (Richmond) 3 times daily.

Pender Island is an intergenerational community of individuals who care for the amazing environment we share. There is a rich history in our pioneer families which fosters an independent and inventive spirit in all our residents. There is a drive to accept, respect and understand each other and foster a community of strong and resilient people who strive to bring out the best of our island culture.
