Location

Glacier Apartments is situated on the south side of Glacier Street in the central Westview neighbourhood of Powell River. The property is located within 1 km of the central waterfront area and ferry dock, and less than a 5-minute drive to Powell River Town Centre, the main community shopping plaza, offering tenants convenient access to Walmart, Save-On Foods, Canadian Tire, RONA and many other shops and services.

While historically a resource-based community focused on forestry, fishing, and mining, Powell River has diversified as a hub for tourism and the arts. Its idyllic location offers endless options for recreational and outdoor adventure. In 2004, Powell River was named a “Cultural Capital of Canada” and is home to Canada’s oldest continuously operating theatre.
