Happy World Rivers Day and BC Rivers Day! From the glacial headwaters to the estuaries where salmon meet the sea, rivers are the lifelines of the Sunshine Coast. They feed our forests, nurture salmon runs, recharge groundwater, and sustain the wildlife and communities that depend on them.

Summit views that take your breath away! Mount Elphinstone, between Gibsons and Sechelt, offers a challenging hike with panoramic views of Howe Sound and Keats Island. Every step we take on these trails matters. Staying on marked paths, packing out all waste, and respecting local wildlife.

✨ Overlooking the McNab Creek Estuary on a crystal-clear day. Pristine waters, thriving habitats, and the wild beauty of the Sunshine Coast all meet here. Estuaries like McNab are more than breathtaking views; they’re nurseries for salmon, feeding grounds for wildlife, and natural buffers.
