Community Contribution & Impact is especially close to our heart. When it comes to tourism, Tigh-Na-Mara is synonymous with Parksville. We’ve been here since 1946 and have had the same, local ownership & management for the past 42 years. Parksville is a small town, and Tigh-Na-Mara is one of the largest employers in our area with over 300 Team Members and growing! We are deeply interconnected with our community in so many ways.
Community spirit or volunteerism is built into our DNA. Our Leadership Team volunteers their time toward a number of local community organizations, charities and boards.
Tigh-Na-Mara’s 22 acres of forested property along the Salish Sea is a special place. We recognize we are stewards for this land. As we continue to renovate our property, we will balance our growth with the needs of our community and the environment. We have an active Green Team wtih lots of sustainable initiatives and some exciting plans moving forward.
