The City of Colwood is located on the coast of Vancouver Island, in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Colwood is a fast growing, family-friendly waterfront community of just over 16,000 people that enjoys a rich heritage, a unique connection to nature and incredible potential. Nestled along 5 kilometers of breathtaking oceanfront and set amongst some of the most beautiful parks and trails on Southern Vancouver Island, there is no better place to live, work and play, than Colwood. The City is poised for significant growth and change with new developments in the heart of Colwood and along the Royal Bay waterfront where construction of a new high school has begun. The City's awarding winning Official Community Plan lays out a strong vision that will ensure the community maintains its natural, historical, family friendly feel as it enjoys the benefits that growth will bring. With this unique combination of community, nature, and growth, home buyers and businesses are taking a fresh look at Colwood.

Growing population and employment base

Colwood's population is set to increase a further 108% by 2038. Development projects are underway throughout the City, including the downtown core and in the new Royal Bay community which includes a new high school, scheduled to open in September 2015. Colwood's workforce is highly educated and statistics show that Colwood residents have a higher median household income than neighbouring communities. The majority of working individuals who reside here hold occupations in sales and service; business, finance and administration; education, law, and community and government services.

A diverse and growing local and regional economy

There are approximately 800 businesses in Colwood, including home based businesses. Employment opportunities are project to increase by 83.7% in Colwood by 2038 as the population grows and businesses in the nearby City of Victoria look to expand and diversify.

Positioned as a regional transportation hub

Colwood is just 10 kilometers up the road from BC's capital city of Victoria and less than 40 km from the Victoria International Airport and the BC Ferries Swartz Bay Terminal. BC Transit provides an efficient regional public transit system. The Galloping Goose Regional Trail runs through the City and connects to local roads parks and trails making for an easy and enjoyable commuting option. Learn more about Getting Around in Colwood. The BC Transit Futures Plan identifies the Island Highway in Colwood as an exclusive corridor for a rapid transit network running from Victoria's Inner Harbour to the heart of Colwood. This makes the City an excellent choice for innovative and forward thinking employers.

Premiere post secondary educational facilities
