Lighthouse Country Business -- President's Message

Lighthouse Country Business Association (LCBA) is pleased that you have visited our website. This website is for the use of both our residents and visitors alike. We are sure you will find useful information.

The LCBA represents the entrepreneurial spirit found in abundance throughout the communities of Lighthouse Country. It is our mandate to advance the interests and prosperity of all the businesses in this area and to promote their activities and events. Creating and coordinating marketing opportunities for all local businesses is what we do. Our residents and visitors are our target markets.

In our area, we have a profusion of creative abilities, whose various forms of art are being marketed locally, nationally and internationally. Tourism is a major economic driver in Lighthouse Country and added to that we have many businesses that meet the needs of our local residents. Many businesses choose to call Lighthouse Country home and their work is home based. They meet the needs of their customers throughout the world.

The LCBA boundary is the same as that of Area H of the Regional District of Nanaimo. We support and respect the Official Community Plan’s goals of managed growth, rural lifestyle and preservation of our environment. We will work towards the good of our businesses and residents to uphold the policies within the OCP.

We are fortunate to live and work in an area endowed with natural beauty and warm climate that is unsurpassed in Canada. This beauty brings people here to live and to visit. The Lighthouse Country Business Association continues to strive for a strong business membership that supports, protects and enhances this natural beauty.
