Events info is excessive

edit

A simple list of the festivals hosted in the Comox Valley is appropriate, but listing the dates, ticket prices, contact information and so forth to the degree that it takes half the article is not!

Find information about HMCS Quadra and we will have it added as a tourist site and/or event in the Valley.] Tazzy33182 (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Tazzy33182Reply

Comox, British Columbia needs the same treatment but my fingers are tired. Brianhe 02:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Cultural Capitals?

I think that the recent video where 3 white men tried to fight a black man should be mentioned here. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/three-arrested-in-attack-posted-on-youtube/article1210121/

Drake at Comox Valley

edit

The paragraph about Drake should be pulled or changed to "one discredited idea suggested that Sir Francis Drake visited the area in 1579." Several references can be provided. The accepted sites are Oregon Dunes for Drake's landfall and Drakes Bay for New Albion. The US National Park Service has studied this matter and awarded the Drakes Bay site a National Historic Landmark designation.

Comox Bay has been included in Fringe theories on the location of New Albion MikeVdP (talk) 06:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
