CEDAR
Established in the 1920s, Cedar is a lovely rural community just south of Nanaimo. Cedar’s lush, dense forests are deeply appealing to outdoor lovers and those looking for more private residences. Cedar has a variety of homes ranging from properties suited to young families, to luxurious homes in highly coveted areas Cedar-By-The-Sea and Yellow Point.

The Cedar village offers many amenities including a bank, grocery store, pharmacy, cafes, and restaurants. From May to October, locals attend the charming Cedar Farmers Market where they can enjoy fresh farm products, handmade crafts, and artisan goods.
