The Comox Valley Regional District is a regional district in British Columbia, Canada. It was created on February 15, 2008, encompassing the southeastern portions of the former Regional District of Comox-Strathcona, and centered about the Comox Valley. The partition left the new Comox Valley Regional District with only 8.4 percent of the former Comox-Strathcona's land area, but 57.9 percent of its population. Its current territory has a land area of 1,683.535 km² (650.017 sq mi), making it the smallest regional district by area; and a 2006 census population of 58,824 inhabitants. Two Indian reserves, Comox Indian Reserve No. 1 and Pentledge Indian Reserve No. 2 lie within its territory but are outside its jurisdiction. The census divisions comprising the new Regional District are the city of Courtenay, the town of Comox, the village of Cumberland, Comox-Strathcona's Regional District Electoral Areas A, B, C, and K, and the two stated Indian reserves.
The administrative offices are in Courtenay, British Columbia.
Comox Valley Transit is the regional public transportation system, operated by Watson and Ash Transportation. Funding is provided under a partnership between the region and BC Transit, the provincial agency which plans and manages municipal transit systems.
