- We are located on Vancouver Island—a hard perk to top. Those of you who already live here and have undoubtedly fallen in love with the island lifestyle, we know you get it. But for those looking for an adventure and to relocate, working with us means exploring the exceptional beauty of Vancouver Island in your downtime. With the new high-speed ferry service to downtown Vancouver, there’s never been more convenient access to working on the island.
