The Fanny Bay Trading Co is a perfect
place to stop on your trip up or down the
island, whether you're looking for Native
art, souvenirs, refreshments, or just a
place to stretch your legs and breathe
some fresh Vancouver Island air!
The Fanny Bay Trading Co is located just
minutes away from the Denman and
Hornby ferry terminal, on the scenic
ocean-side highway 19A in Fanny Bay,
between Nanaimo and Courtenay.
Come visit our small but high quality
Native Art Gallery, featuring local First
Nations artists who we've worked with for
years. Our extensive collection is one of
the most unique on the Island and
continually thrills customers, who come
back year after year to see what's new.
Whether it's a colourful print, a dramatic
hand-carved masked, or a piece of
exquisite native art silver jewellery, you
can take home a work of art that you'll
appreciate for many years.
The gift shop features distinctive gift and
souvenir items that we source locally.
We've got a great selection of one-of-a-kind
items ranging from hats, T-shirts and
hoodies to blankets to locally-made
ceramics and artisanal soaps. Have a look
at our truly gorgeous mukluks and
moccasins to see how much character and
craftsmanship a hand-made product can
offer. As well, check out our unique
collection of fun and funky wooden boxes,
each one individually crafted by local
artisans.
While enjoying the gallery and shop, be
sure to stop by the Java Hut and enjoy a
delicious cup of specialty coffee or, in the
summertime, a nice cool ice-cream cone.
We look forward to offering you a
refreshing and pleasant break on your
travels, along with an authentic
reflection of BC culture.
