Sunshine Coast - The Place to Live

Whether you are living on the Sunshine Coast now or are contemplating moving here, Coastal living offers a great alternative lifestyle. With most communities situated on or near the waterfront, recreational opportunities are abundant and close enough to enjoy before work or even during your lunch hour! Our close proximity to the Lower Mainland and Whistler provides the opportunity for city experiences and world class skiing while maintaining a rural coastal lifestyle.

Local and Regional Governments

Whether you are residing or investing on the lower Sunshine Coast the Government Resources section will be helpful.

The Sunshine Coast is divided into several distinct electoral areas with different bylaws, services and taxes. It is important to know in which area you live or operate a business so that you know where to go for information and assistance.

The Town of Gibsons, District of Sechelt, Sunshine Coast Regional District, the Sechelt Indian Government District, and Powell River Regional District including the City of Powell River all have their own councils and handle administration for their respective areas.

Although Keats and Gambier Islands are part of the Islands Trust they are in Area F of the Sunshine Coast Regional District for some municipal matters.
