Alert Bay is a coastal village on Cormorant Island known for its deep Indigenous heritage and strong sense of community. With over 30 years of living on Vancouver Island, I have come to know Alert Bay as a place where cultural traditions and the natural world are deeply intertwined. The island’s totem poles, wildlife viewing, and community gatherings create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and enduring. People are consistently drawn here for its authentic spirit and the connection it offers to land, sea, and history.
