Interesting observations• Strengths: a relaxed lifestyle, world-class natural
attractions, favourable real estate prices and a lively, engaged community
• Weaknesses: gaps in infrastructure and services, a small population, an undiversified industrial base and ineffective, uncoordinated marketing
• Ferries are an asset – lower cost and less travel time when compared to major competition

of the Lower Mainland– world-class attractions such as Princess Louisa and
