There are three villages on Quadra Island: the Village of Cape Mudge,
(Yaculta), which is part of the We Wai Kai Nation & one of fifteen Kwakwak’awakw
communities in the wider region; Quathiaski Cove, the island’s commercial hub;
and Heriot Bay, picturesque gateway to the Discovery Islands & mainland inlets.
Quadra’s people enjoy a rural lifestyle surrounded by breathtaking coastal
scenery and a clean unspoiled environment. The indigenous First Nations and
global migrants, together create a tight-knit community rich in art and culture. The
diversity of people, professions, lifestyles and pastimes makes Quadra Island a
truly great place to live or visit.
