Vancouver Island is located on the West Coast
of British
Columbia, Canada. The island is 460 kilometres (285 mi) in length and 80
kilometres (50 mi) in width at its widest point. The 2001 census population
on the Island was 656,312. British Columbia statistics in 2004 estimated the
population at 734,860. Slightly fewer than half of these (331,491) live in
Greater Victoria. Other major cities on Vancouver Island include Nanaimo,
Duncan, Port Alberni, Parksville, Courtenay, and Campbell River.
After attending many of Washington State's
Club Miata NorthWest events, many Island Miata owners were inspired and
started Club Miata Vancouver Island in 1990. They were dedicated in keeping
the same goal of promoting enthusiasm for the Miata ownership experience
through driving events/activities and social gatherings and these ideals continues to be the key to
our success today as currently have approximately 80 cars in the Club.
Club Contacts can be reached throughout the
Island. Please feel free to contact any one of the following if you have any

Club Miata Vancouver Island's excursions have
taken its members throughout Vancouver Island, into the Thompson Okanagan of
BC, and around the Pacific
Northwest on some of the twistiest and most scenic roads. Not only are there
day rides, overnight events as well as various annually planned activities, but
there's even the odd impromptu ride. All the while, we've got our
engines zooming and tops down, of course!
The Club Miata membership includes
Miataphilies from all over the Island, including Victoria and area, Cobble Hill, Mill
Bay, Duncan, Crofton, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay, Qualicum Beach, Fanny
Bay, Comox, Courtenay, and Campbell River. We're a very informal group, as we only have one
meeting a year. Once you become a member, this is your club! We want
everyone to get involved in planning various activities and rides. Miata
Club drives takes the twisty roads to the most interesting places Vancouver
Island has to offer. Whether
it's a drive to the ocean shores, through the countryside or off the
Island, the emphasis is always the same ~ fun, friendship, and sharing the
passion for our cars.
The Best Upgrade to your Miata would be to
