An End to the LONG Winter...
Are you thinking the same thing? It must have been a barbarian who decided there would not be a long weekend until April this year. Add that to the groundhogs who are saying six more weeks of winter and we understand why you can't wait any longer for a break! Therefore, Oceanside Village Resort is pleased to announce our Spring Family Getaway Special. Book five consecutive nights between February and April 30, 2010 and enjoy two additional nights FREE! This would be a prefect spring break getaway with the kids-or leave the kids at home and dust off your golf clubs. The cottages at Oceanside Village Resort have been designed with family in mind. The open floor plan gives everyone plenty of elbow room. Units range from one bedroom with loft at about 860 sq feet to two bedrooms with loft at over 1100 sq feet. Not only are the cottages perfect for families-family fun is just outside the door. Take the kids for a dip in the pool or squeeze in your daily workout in our fitness facility and finish with a soak in the hot tub. Then head over to Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. Whatever you do with your day, you will feel the spring in your step return and the stress fade away. So start planning your spring getaway now. Call for full details on the Spring Family Getaway Special. |

Parksville Uncorked Calling All FOODIES How could you resist tarragon and thyme butter poached sablefish with a Burrowing Owl chardonnay, or a rack of venison in a blackberry port reduction with a 2007 Pinot Noir from Averill Creek, or a slice of chocolate hazelnut cake with house-churned Frangelico ice cream? Parksville Uncorked, second annual wine and culinary festival, happens February 25-28. This is your opportunity to sample the best wines and gourmet food of BC. Indulge in wine tastings, seminars, champagne brunches, six-course dinners and wine-inspired spa treatments. Admission to these events ranges from $29 to $150 per person.

Family Fun Spring Break!
Oceanside Village Resort is the perfect home base for a family fun spring break. From here you can enjoy all that Vancouver Island offers including places you and the kids will never forget! Be sure to visit some of the Island's native creatures at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington, near Parksville. It's a non-profit organization that cares for sick and injured wild animals and releases them back into their natural habitat. Some of the rescued birds and animals are unable to be released and now live at the centre. Highlights will include seeing the eagles in the largest eagle flight cage of its kind in Canada, a visit the Museum of Nature, and learning about the black bear rehabilitation program. Find out more at www.niwra.org While in the Coombs area don't forget to stop at Butterfly World and Gardens. You'll enjoy large indoor gardens filled with rare tropical plants, hundreds of butterflies, tropical finches and glorious orchids. Check out the Big Bug Jungle if you dare. For details, visit www.nature-world.com If you're looking for that perfect Canadian painting to hang on your wall, you'll have about 70 to choose from at the National Juried Art Show at the Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach. This event starts on February 10 and runs through March 28.
