Pender Island Staycation

Pender Island Staycation | November 20–24, 2026

Five days without our regular ferry service? Let’s make the most of staying close to home!

With the Otter Bay ferry berth closed November 20–24, the Pender Island Chamber of Commerce is inviting islanders to get out, explore and rediscover what makes Pender special.

The Pender Island Staycation is all about shopping local, enjoying a meal out, trying something new, visiting old favourites and supporting the businesses and organizations that make our island community special.

There will be special offers, activities and experiences to enjoy throughout the five days. And there’s an extra reason to get out and about!

Pick up your Staycation Passport, visit participating locations and collect stamps for a chance to win some great prizes generously donated by local businesses.

Whether you’re treating yourself to lunch, doing a little Christmas shopping or discovering somewhere you’ve never been, it’s a great excuse to enjoy what’s right here on our doorstep.

Stay close. Shop local. Have fun. Win prizes!

Stay tuned for more details here, in the November issue of the Pender Post, in your mailbox, on the Chamber’s social media pages and at participating locations.
