Parksville-Qualicum Daily is a short, daily community briefing focused on what matters most to people who live and work in Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Errington, Coombs, French Creek, Nanoose Bay, and the Oceanside communities - Vancouver Island's mid-Island coast between Nanaimo and the Comox Valley, on the traditional territories of the Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) and Qualicum First Nations. Each morning we deliver a concise roundup of local news, community events, weather, Highway 19 conditions, BC Ferries updates from Nanaimo, beach and marine forecasts for Rathtrevor and Qualicum Bay, and the stories shaping life along Oceanside. Designed to be easy to listen to on the drive to work and easy to share with your community.
