How To Get Here
Cumberland is located in the Comox Valley on eastern Vancouver Island in the foothills of the Beaufort Mountain Range. Highways 19 and 19A link Cumberland with northern and southern Vancouver Island. Cumberland is a two-and-a-half hour drive north from Victoria, or a 75-minutes drive from the ferry terminals of Departure Bay and Duke Point near Nanaimo. We are 40 minutes south of Campbell River and a 10 minute drive to the larger Comox Valley communities of Comox and Courtenay.
BC Ferries operates a route between the Comox Valley and Powell River on the British Columbia mainland. The Comox Valley Airport is served by three major airlines, with 12 daily flights between Vancouver and Comox and direct flights from Calgary. Small aircraft and floatplanes land at the Courtenay Airpark near downtown Courtenay. Daily coach lines connect all parts of Vancouver Island with the Mainland, and local bus service is also available in Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland. Daily train service is available from Victoria to Courtenay.
Parking Information
Parking is limited in our little Village with no strip malls to accommodate overflow (thank goodness).
Any efforts you can make to car pool or use alternative transportation to the site would be greatly appreciated.
Parking crews will be stationed throughout the Village to direct traffic to available parking areas and to let folks know where the “no-go” zones are.
Remember, if you block a resident’s driveway, an alley entrance or an emergency route - you risk being towed by a 3rd party.
