Active Green Principles
An Environmentally Friendly Community
Qualicum Landing has been designed as an active green lifestyle community to minimize the impact on the environment and to create a green community for generations to come. By using sustainable materials, energy-efficient heating systems, and reducing water consumption through innovative landscaping, Qualicum Landing is a community that is in harmony with the land.

- Nominated by BC Hydro Power Smart program as Best New Development
- Clean up and conservation with the Dept of Fisheries and Oceans on Fletcher Creek (A fish bearing stream that boarders our property)
- Use of local timber from our land on the front of the homes. Yes, we even brought in a mill to do it!
