Located at 1590 Cliffe Avenue, Courtenay, BC. Although it has only been here since 2011 it is a favourite local watering hole.
The Flying Canoe is close to the Courtenay River estuary, which is a popular canoe and kayak spot.
The legend of the "flying canoe" refers to a french-canadian story of a group of voyageurs who wanted to visit their sweethearts, who were 300 miles away. The only way to do so was to use the flying canoe, which involved making a pact with the devil so that their canoe can fly through the air at top speed.
