A Tribute Letter to the Heart of Parksville: Our Community

Thank you—from the bottom of our hearts.

As the colors of autumn begin to paint our beautiful town and we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, we, the members of the Parksville Downtown Business Association, want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude. This Thanksgiving season is not just a time for turkey and togetherness; it’s an opportunity for us to say a heartfelt thank you to the true soul of our community—you.

In Parksville, 98% of businesses are small, local enterprises, and we are proud to be a part of that number. These businesses are the beating heart of our community. We are your neighbors, your friends, and your biggest supporters, and we are incredibly grateful that you have chosen to support us in return. Your loyalty and patronage make our downtown vibrant, diverse, and full of life.

From the friendly hello when you walk through our doors to the smiles that greet you at every corner, your presence and support mean the world to us. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee, browsing our shops for the perfect gift, or enjoying a meal with loved ones, you make a difference every single day. You keep our doors open, our lights on, and our dreams alive.

As we reflect on the year and all that we’ve accomplished together, we are filled with pride and gratitude. You have not only supported our businesses but have also contributed to the spirit and resilience of Parksville. Your commitment to shopping local and supporting small businesses has a ripple effect that strengthens our entire community.
