British Columbia

British Columbia, you\'re next.

Haven's first villages open in Ontario in fall 2026. British Columbia is next — Vancouver Island first, then the Lower Mainland.

A Haven village in Ontario.

When is Haven coming to British Columbia?

Ontario opens first, in fall 2026. British Columbia follows, starting on Vancouver Island — Victoria, Langford, Nanaimo and the Comox Valley.

Vancouver Island was chosen as the first BC region because the Island's communities are compact and walkable — the shape a village needs to actually work.
