The valley's population is currently well past the 30,000 mark, and has experienced a recent period of sustained growth.

Comox is known for being home of the Lorne Hotel, the oldest licensed establishment in British Columbia, and for the Filberg Festival, an annual summertime arts and crafts extravaganza named for the residential park where it's held. Coinciding with the Filberg Festival in early August are the 'Nautical Days' celebrations in Comox Marina Park (a landfill waterfront park), boasting a parade, a classic car show, an amateur boatbuilding competition and live music performances.

The Comox Valley is also home to the primary campus of North Island College, which offers a variety of courses to those wishing to further their education, but stay close to home. There are also branches of Excel Career College and Sprott-Shaw Community College for those who wish to pursue distance education.
