MAYOR’S WELCOME MESSAGE

Thank you for taking an interest in our beautiful and welcoming community. We hope that you find this profile informative and that it provides some insight as to why we so enjoy living and working here.


We are most blessed to live in area of such natural beauty on the open Pacific Ocean adjacent to a national park and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

In addition to its natural attributes, Ucluelet is equally proud of our community spirit and our commitment to economic diversification. We have created the Ucluelet Economic Development Corporation to act a catalyst for future growth. We have, in concert with First Nations partners, developed an eco-industrial park to serve the entire region. We have crafted a revised Official Community Plan and purchased lands and provided funding to create a strategically located regional visitor centre.

We’re justifiably proud of the great many features available to our businesses, residents, and visitors. Located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island we are within a day’s drive of nearly five million people. Our weather is tempered by the Pacific Ocean and is one of the most moderate in Canada. Our extensive, sandy beaches are perfect for family outings. Our sport fishing is arguably the finest in Canada. Our citizens are among the most friendly and helpful people found anywhere. There’s a plethora of year round recreational activities in the region.  There are first class dining and shopping facilities and excellent professional services.

Once you have chosen our community to live or invest in you will appreciate the friendly and receptive atmosphere and the very best quality of life.

Thanks again for your interest. We very much welcome your enquiries.

Sincerely,

Eric Russcher
Mayor, District of Ucluelet
