City of Powell River BC

Powell River is a modern and vibrant small-sized Canadian city. We’re a diverse community of first peoples, born-and-bred locals and new arrivals from near and far who love Powell River for the lifestyle, affordability, progressive education, world-renowned international festivals, events and sports, haven for entrepreneurship, booming residential development sector, investment in light industry and creative economies, and our unparalleled outdoor playground.

Where we live is Coastal by Nature in the spectacular setting of the British Columbia Northern Sunshine Coast on the traditional lands of the Tla’amin Nation and the centre of the qathet Regional District.

Powell River people share a common purpose and great pride in our City. We are a welcoming community, working together in fellowship, sharing mutual attitudes, values, beliefs, and goals in making Powell River healthy and thriving through services and leadership for our coastal community and future generations in an innovative, effective and responsible manner.
