Mar 28, 2021 | 6:46 AM

Qualicum Beach — The Town of Qualicum Beach is setting about trying to discover its identity.

The Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Town administration and the Qualicum Beach Downtown Business Commitee, is now developing a strategy to put Qualicum Beach on the map and develop the town as a tourist destination.

“Every community needs a brand,” Chamber executive director Kim Burden said in a filmed interview. “The spirit and character of Qualicum Beach is wrapped up in its unique identity. It’s a village with a bit of old world charm with modern conveniences and the diversity of available services. It’s all here.”

Burden said residents and tourists enjoy Qualicum Beach because it offers something for everyone.
