Comox Valley Information
The small seaside community of Union Bay on the east coast of Vancouver Island was formerly a major shipping port (1888 to 1960) for the Union Coal Company mines at nearby Cumberland (previously called Union). Huge docks were constructed at Union Bay to accommodate both the rumbling coal trains and the seagoing freighters.
Today, only a raised rail bed and a few old pilings remain to remind us of those once busy wharves, and Union Bay’s economy is now dependent upon by oysters, and mighty tasty ones too
