In a world full of places to discover, returning somewhere is the highest compliment.

Sidney seems to receive that compliment often.

Maybe it’s the ocean that is always within sight. Maybe it’s the local cafés, independent shops, and afternoons that unfold without much of a plan. Whatever it is, there’s something about life by the sea that keeps people coming back.

What keeps you coming back to Sidney? 🌊

Today our team is hitting the streets, handing out Pride décor and flags for businesses to dress up their storefronts this Pride Month.

We’ve teamed up with our besties at Pride Sidney to help ensure every corner of Sidney is showing support, celebrating inclusivity, and spreading a little extra love throughout our community this June. 🌈

Be sure to pop into your favourite shops to grab a Pride flag or Pride pin and join us in celebrating a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant Sidney all month long. 💖

If you’re a business in downtown Sidney and missed the email to register to receive Pride supplies, send us a DM and we’ll get you set up!

Caution ⚠️ WET PAINT

We are always so thankful to the Town of Sidney for their ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the building that we proudly call home. Their care and attention help keep our Visitor Centre welcoming for both residents and visitors year-round.

Sidney is the perfect example of what can happen when a community works together. From beautification and maintenance to events, tourism, and local business support, it takes collaboration to keep our waterfront town vibrant, inviting, and thriving. 💙
