District of Ucluelet

Ucluelet is situated on the magnificent outer west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The district municipality (pop about 1627) is located approximately 288 km north west of Canada’s capital city Victoria. The closest city is Port Alberni approximately 110 km to the east and the District of Tofino is approximately 40 km north west of Ucluelet. Between Tofino and Ucluelet is the Long Beach Unit of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Ucluelet provides easy water access to Barkley Sound; a spectacular marine area that features the Broken Group Islands Unit of Pacific Rim National Reserve. The environment of tranquil Ucluelet provides a stimulating and dramatic backdrop for working, living, and recreating. The town of Ucluelet offers beaches, multi-use sports fields, community parks, waterfront promenades, restaurants, unique shops and galleries, a mini aquarium and a range of accommodation choices. The motto of Ucluelet is “Living on the Edge” due in part to its location on Ucluelet Peninsula surrounded by water. This marine influence permeates Ucluelet from the climate, to events such as the Pacific Rim Whale Festival, to the design of buildings, which are uniquely West Coast.
