The Comox Valley is situated mid-way on Vancouver Island's east coast. It is bordered on the west by the Beaufort Mountain Range, whose highlight is the breathtaking Comox Glacier, also called Queneesh to the local First Nations. The eastern border is the shoreline of the Strait of Georgia with its panoramic views of the mainland's Sunshine Coast and mountains beyond. The Valley extends south to Fanny Bay and north to the Oyster River. The Comox Valley has two forms of local government. The Town of Comox, the City of Courtenay and the Village of Cumberland operate as municipalities and the Comox Valley Regional District handles the affairs of the rural areas.
