Fairwinds is a resort style community located in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada.
The community features a variety of services including a year-round 18-hole golf course, a full-service 250 berth marina, a 20,000sf wellness club, two restaurants and a collection of vacation rental suites.
The 1300-acre property that would become Fairwinds was purchased in 1981 by Neil Scott, Al Slaughter, Bill Benner and Frank Herman with the dream of creating a waterfront community based around a championship golf course and the Schooner Cover Marina. Seacliff Properties acquired the community in 2015 and has been devoted to evolving the community as an exceptional place to live, work and play since its acquisition, setting a standard for master-planned residential communities on Vancouver Island and beyond.[1]
As of 2016, according to the Canadian Census, Fairwinds had a population of 1,147.
