Town of Port McNeill
"Port McNeill is a small coastal community on Northern Vancouver Island, perched on the shores of Queen Charlotte Strait and shaped by the rhythms of the sea and the surrounding forests. With a working harbour, strong ties to fishing and forestry, and easy access to ocean wildlife and outdoor adventure, it offers an authentic west coast community feel."
Sointula
"Sointula is a small community on Malcolm Island located off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. It was settled by Finnish immigrants who wished to establish a self-sustaining utopian colony. They took possession of the island in 1901 and named their community Sointula, a ‘place of harmony’ in Finnish."
