Pender Harbour, British Columbia
Pender Harbour is a harbour on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, on the east side of Malaspina Strait.〔 (rescinded)〕 The harbour is an intricate amalgam of bays and coves that encroach inland for five kilometres and provide over sixty kilometres of shoreline. Once a steamer stop, a fishing village, and an important logging and medical waypoint,〔http://www.penderharbourheritage.ca/about.html Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society〕 it is now an unincorporated community within the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD).
Pender Harbour's population is under 3,000, with over 40% of property owners being non-resident (one of them Joni Mitchell, since early 70's〔(EPISODE #002: Joni Mitchell's Dulcimers )〕). Pender Harbour includes the small villages of Madeira Park, Garden Bay, Irvine's Landing, and Kleindale.
Tourism is an important part of the local economy. The area has an arts community and several annual music festivals. It hosts the second-oldest May Day celebration in British Columbia () and the biggest and longest-running downhill longboard race in Canada, Attack of Danger Bay.
