Savary Island is 5 miles tip tip, at the northern end of Georgia Strait, it lies east west, is about 90 miles north west of Vancouver. Savary is the most subdivided island in The Gulf, in 1910 the majority of the Island was divided in to 50ft wide lots. In the early 70's Savary Shore added another 225 lots. Sunny, situated in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island and with low elevation, Savary gets more sunshine, the tides flushing in from the Pacific around Vancouver Island meet just norh of Savary. When these warmer waters, run over the shallow sandy shelf of Savary, they become some of the warmest in the region. Savary is mostly sand and silt, anchored by Mace Point, a large rock at the East End. The sand means there is little surface water. The temperate climate and lack of surface water, has limited the land mammals, there are deer, squirrels, mice , river otters and the occasional mink come ashore. This makes hiking etc. a little less stressful. ( no bears , cougars, rats, raccoons etc. AND FEW MOSQUITOS ). The are rare plant colonies and the northernmost Garry Oaks. Broom was introduced in the 1930's a mixed blessing, it has controlled erosion in some locations, and is beautiful in bloom, but it is invasive and inflammable. Birds are abundant, resident bald eagles, scavenging turkey vultures, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and of course shorebirds. There are lots of seals on the reefs, sometimes sea lions. There are resident porpoises in the area and random visits by whales. There is groundwater , a shallow 'perched' aquifer on a silt layer. Shallow dug wells mid island, sandpoint wells at Indian Point and Mlaspina Promenade. And the main aquifer, accessed by drilled wells. Water is good quality and drunk untreated. Savary Shores has a community well currently serving about 120 lots.

When Terracentric owners Christine Hollmann and Hugh Prichard met, it was quickly apparent that they shared a common vision - a company that offered innovative, high quality, experiential adventures in the amazing outdoors of the upper Sunshine Coast. Powell River had the perfect physical environment for the development of adventure based learning and recreation programs that provide active, positive learning opportunities for youth, families and educational, therapeutic and organizational groups. Since June of 2001 Terracentric Coastal Adventures has been consulting, developing and delivering adventure learning programs and wilderness guiding services in a wide range of settings for both public and private sector organizations. After 3 successful years located right in the Lund Hotel building, we have as of July 1st, 2005 moved our office and storefront to the top floor of the beautiful new Harbour's Edge building, which is home to the well known Nancy's Bakery. This move allows us to focus more heavily on our marine environmental education through our tours and programs. We will be working to have proceeds from our tours going to the Georgia Strait Alliance, an organization that exists to raise awareness about and effect change in pollution of the Strait. At the same time, we continue to hilight the forest environmental through our hikes and also at our Ropes Course facility, located south of Powell River.
