Extension is a rural community south of Nanaimo, known for its mining history, forested landscapes, and quiet country roads. Living here for more than 30 years, I have seen how Extension maintains its heritage while offering a slower pace of life. Residents value the sense of space, connection to nature, and strong community roots that define this unique part of the region.
