Nestled on Howe Sound's sheltered shoreline, and bordered by the Straight of Georgia, Gibsons, British Columbia is a scenic seaside community just 10 miles (16 kilometres) as the eagles fly from Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver.

A place for you

In this unique setting, you'll experience the best of all worlds - a mild West Coast climate, breathtaking mountain-to-ocean scenery, and an affordable lifestyle.

There's plenty of friendly, small-town atmosphere, and just about every shop and service you need. Year-round, outdoor recreational activities abound on land and sea. And for a change of pace, Vancouver’s attractions are as close as a 40-minute scenic ferry journey or quick seaplane flight.

And your business

As well, you’ll find entrepreneurial opportunities, convenient connections to Vancouver and the world beyond – whether in person, or electronically, a full range of business services, and a diverse pool of talented and skilled people, who, like you, have chosen to live the Sunshine Coast lifestyle.

The possibilities are here

  • tourism: arts, eco- and edu-tourism, retreats and meetings, bed & breakfasts. Gibsons is just 40 minutes … and a world away.

  • service and retail, targetting both local and off-coast markets. With Internet, email, and other communications tools, it’s possible to live here and do business anywhere.

  • specialty light manufacturing, including value-added wood products, food processing, specialized equipment, and more.

  • high-technology: join other successful entrepreneurs who’ve made Gibsons their family and business home.

  • distance professionals and satellite offices of larger companies. Relocate to affordable real estate just miles from Canada’s third-largest city.

Gibsons offers so much, so close to Vancouver – it’s the lifestyle right next door. Whether you’re seeking to relocate, retire, or renew your spirit, come for a visit, and discover a place where you and your business can have the best of all worlds.
