Reviewer: phoebe mcculloch	P-ville has provided many yrs. of fun and treasured moments as we are in the centre of natures bounty; I'm glad I left for a # of years, and am proud to be a native parksvillian now for 55+ yrs. I cannot believe the huge influx of people here; I though it was busy in the 70's.............if more people realized how lucky we are in this pristene area and would respect its' natural wonders so it does not become citified....keep its beauty intact please people.

Reviewer: VisitParksvilleQualicumBeach.com - Blain	Webcam Update. Sorry for how long this is taking, folks. We haven't been able to connect to the camera for some time and have been working with the Quality Resort Bayside to troubleshoot. We hope to know if it is a network, cable, or camera issue early this week. Once we know what the problem is, we'll fix it asap. Even if that means a new camera. Thanks for your patience.
