Parksville Canada

Parksville is a city on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The city lies along Highway 19A, 37 kilometres northwest of Nanaimo, 48 kilometres east of Port Alberni and 7 kilometres southeast of Qualicum Beach. The majority of Parksville's land base lies between Englishman River and French Creek, although a substantial portion of the city lies east of Englishman River, along the western shores of Craig Bay. As of the 2016 Census, Parksville's population was 12,514, representing a 4.5% increase over the 2011 Census. Parksville is well known for its large, sandy beaches at Parksville Bay and Craig Bay. The city's best-known annual event since 1982 is a sandcastle-building competition held from mid-July to mid-August, dubbed 'Parksville Beachfest'. Beachfest is the only World Championship Sand Sculpting official qualification event in Canada. Local media, businesses, and civil services frequently refer to Parksville, with its adjacent municipalities, as the community of 'Oceanside', typically including Qualicum Beach, French Creek, Coombs/Hilliers, Errington, Nanoose, Bowser and Deep Bay.
