The Sunshine Coast District, encompassing
1,555,088 hectares, is located in the southwest corner of British Columbia,
approximately 100KM northwest of Vancouver. It lies within the Coast
Mountains and extends from Howe Sound in the south to Bute Inlet in the north.
The major communities within the district include
Powell River, Sechelt, Gibsons, and Pender Harbour. Historically these
communities were resource based with an emphasis on the forest industry. Tourism
and recreation opportunities as well as retirement have begun to shift the
dependence from the resource based sectors.
The Sunshine Coast District staff are
responsible for managing the crown forest land for the numerous benefits
available from our forests. Recreation, water, fish and wildlife, and timber are
a few of the key values being managed by the District. The District
office is located in Powell River.
