Sointula

Sointula is located on Malcolm Island, which divides Broughton Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait. The word “Sointula” means “Place of Harmony” in Finnish, and the island community was originally populated with Finnish settlers bound to create a utopian society. The descendants of these immigrants can still be found on the island today, amongst a thriving community of artists, musicians, retirees, environmentalists, and caring community members who value the island way of life.

The slow pace of Sointula suits many people looking for a different way of life, but there are still many who commute the Vancouver Island for work, have internet-based businesses or provide tourism, hospitality or service industries to the community. There is a fishing dock in the community, and the Ferry from Port McNeill runs several times daily.

Wander the town’s streets, grab a coffee, visit the museum or an art studio, enjoy a halibut burger at the harbour or take one of our day hikes. The miles of accessible beach and long stretches of flat, quiet roads make our island the perfect spot for beachcombing and bike riding. Malcolm Island is the place for people who want to explore for themselves. It offers a safe friendly environment for outdoor activities, as well as plenty of solitude for unwinding.
