In additional to unique shops, services and eateries, Courtenay is also home to an incredible cultural district that includes the Sid Williams Civic Theatre, Comox Valley Art Gallery and the Courtenay and District Museum and Paleontology Centre.

Courtenay, named after a British sea captain, is the urban centre of the Comox Valley and has a rich heritage influenced by farming, logging and fishing.
