Neighbours of Qualicum Beach is a classy, family-oriented community magazine that helps bring people together in a positive, uplifting publication. We feature a different resident or family on the cover every month and highlight local businesses, community groups and non-profit organizations.

Much of the content is collaborative, submitted by the residents themselves. The Calendar of Events pulls together what’s happening for the month and has become a resource for many.

This professional publication is mailed directly to 3,000 homes in our beautiful town every month. Our goal is to connect local businesses to their desired audience in the local area through targeted branding and advertising with our print magazine, plus digital ad campaigns on Google, Facebook and Instagram. We’ll help you build a relationship with our local residents and maintain top of mind awareness.
