This candy shop was amazing! Small but brimming with every sort of candy you could think of. The decorations were also quite something. You can also get samples to whet your appetite.

Its always a good sign when you go into a visitors centre and the staff welcome you and spend time showing you around. You feel welcomed and special. That's what i experienced when i came here during August. The staff could not be more friendly or helpful. I walked about with tons of info about Chemainus and practically every region on the island. Well done....great local products on sale too.

These murals are well done, and great to see the history of the town. Some very talented people have both thought to do this, as well as painted them.

Stopped in here in the middle of summer and got a taste for Christmas! Christmas music is playing, the shop keeper was singing and if I didn't know where I was and what season it was I would have thought there could be snow falling outside at any moment! Too much fun! A lot & I do mean a lot of Christmas ornaments to chose from and a variety of artwork and other items to do with Christmas throughout the shop. Bought my son his 2018 tree ornament and was very happy with my purchase and with being able to look through a unique store in a great little Island town!
