Location

The Errington School of Woodwork and Design is located near the village of Errington and close to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park.

Errington Village is about five kilometres west of Parksville and Qualicum, the closest towns. This area on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island is populated with many small seaside communities.

Because of the affable climate, the spectacular mountain views, the sandy beaches and the sheltered waters of Georgia Strait, people like to spend their vacation time here and increasingly there are those who build retirement homes in what has become known as Oceanside.

The school itself sits on forested land, typical of the lower slopes of Mount Arrowsmith to the west. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.

About thirty minutes north of Nanaimo on the Vancouver Island Highway (19 North), you will see an exit sign for Englishman River Falls. Take Highway 4A by turning off at Exit 51(Parksville/Coombs)

Turn left in the direction of Coombs. This will take you west along Highway 4A. Follow the posted route until you see signs for the Englishman River Falls turnoff. The turnoff is at Errington Road. It will be on your left.

Errington Road will take you through the village of Errington and towards the Falls. Continue along Errington Road for about five more kilometres. You will pass over the bridge at Morrison Creek.

A little further on is the turnoff to the left for Dobson Road. Proceed along Dobson Road to the first road on the left. This is Lorna Lane.

The school is located at 1814 Lorna Lane. If you get lost call us at 250-954-3202 for helpful directions.
