Tours of Exploration & Sunshine Coast Lavender Farm

BC's Sunshine Coast is home to many successful small businesses. Here are two that make our community a better place to live.

Catherine Evans has owned and operated Tours of Exploration since 1986. Tours of Exploration provides carefully planned adventure travel around the world as well as in Canada. Away from her business, Catherine enjoys hiking with her family as well as SCUBA diving, teaching, and volunteering. Find Tours of Exploration on Instagram at @tours.exploration

The husband and wife team of Mike and Allyson Fawcus own and operates Sunshine Coast Lavender Farm in West Porpoise Bay. Allyson says the best part of her business is creating products from scratch and hosting visitors from across BC and beyond. Follow them on Instagram at @SCLavender_Farm
