The farming community is Mecca for those who bask in the glory of the outdoor life. Imagine long stretches of pristine hiking trails, sublime pebble beaches, and cool marshlands for bird watching. Think of sailing on one of the many regional lakes or through the ocean’s mist, watching a fiery sunset paint orange streaks on the cool blue watery glass. Explorers and adventurers have been fascinated by Witty’s Lagoon for a long time, marvelling at its wetland area. It's unique ecosystem attracts tourists in all seasons.
The country life, amidst the wonders of nature, seems to draw out people’s artistic and creative inner child. Metchosin is a beehive of imagination and creative expression. Crystals and handmade gifts adorn the walls of Metchosin Country Crafts. Award-winning and internationally renowned ceramic artists Robin Hopper and Judy Dyelle have been turning out exquisite pottery for 75 years on their six-acre farm. Their 'Chosin pottery business includes two studios, a gallery and showroom.
Little Metchosin is an important player on the world stage. It is home to Pearson
College, ‘Canada’s School for the World’, accommodating up to 200 students from 150 countries eager to make this planet a smarter and kinder place. This rural community also encourages future artists at the Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts.
Westmont Montessori School, Metchosin Elementary School, Metchosin Co-op Pre-School, and Hans Helgesen Elementary school keep the youngest Metchosin citizens well-informed and knowledgeable. The community is a member of West Shore Parks and Recreation, which offers a wide variety of recreation facilities and activities for Metchosin residents.
Sometimes living on a smaller scale means reaping bigger rewards.
